Learning
1. Students will demonstrate understanding of frog life cycles through the various stations
Objective(s)

Stage 2: Assessment Evidence

Summative Formative
• • Observation, red notebooks
Assessment Assessment

Stage 3: Learning Experience

Tech Resources
• • Materials for stations
to Do to Bring
Time: 50 mins Content/Description Notes
Introduction
2 mins • Have students review the different stages of frog life cycle and
what happens at each stage
Instructions
3 mins
• Give instructions for each station
Stations
Station 1: Sensory Bin
• Students will be given a bin of frog life cycle manipulatives,
leaves (or big paper lily pads), sticks, rocks, and a container of
water. Students must identify where frogs would go at each
stage of their life cycle. Get students to sketch the physical
diagram they have created in their learning journal
40 mins
Station 2: Videos
• Students will get the chance to use iPad to watch videos of real
frog transformations.
• Students will answer questions based on the video they
watched, such as what the frogs consume for food at each
stage of life and how they adapt.
Station 3: Lily Pad Craft

Frog Life Cycle Stations

• Students colour two paper plates. The bottom plate is divided

into 4 quarter represents a stage of the frog. Students will draw
and colour each stage.
• The top paper plate will be the lily pad. A quarter of the lily pad
will be cut out to reveal the stages below. Top should be able
to spin to show each stage.
Station 4: Board Game
• Students will play a board game based on the life cycle of a
frog. The first person who can make it to an adult frog (the end
of the board) wins!
•

Clean Up
5 mins
• Students will clean up and put away material.

Day 1) Board game doesn’t quite take as long as all the other stations, I would try
and come up with some kind of extension activity if I were to do them again. To
speed up the craft station I ended up dividing plates into quarters myself
beforehand to save time. Stations were well received.
Reflection
Day 2) Switched to little cubes for players. The paper players were hard to tell apart,
move around easily and crumple. Having the lines already drawn made things run a
lot smoother.
