Fabulous Frogs!
This term our science topic is
We are going to learn about the frogs that can be found in our local area about their habitat.
To start we are going to explore the ponds (puddles!!!) around our school and see if we can find some frogs. We can certainly hear them, hopefully we will be able to observe some too!
Here's two photos I took of a frog that Jack found in the school yard on Tuesdsay.
Here is a picture of the frog that we found on our walk around the school yard today.
The following website will help you to identify the frogs that we found in our school yard.
Frogs of Australia
Here are some websites that you will need to explore to find information for today's lesson.

Metamorphosis
WOW! I am so amazed at how a caterpillar turns into a butterfly! The caterpillar goes through such a complete and amazing transformation. It has new eyes, new digestive system, new legs - pretty much everything is new and nothing is left of the caterpillar!
A caterpillar changing into a butterfly (metamorphosis) is an example of chemical change. It is irreversible.
The caterpillar that becomes the monarch butterfly is about 2mm long when it hatches from its egg. In the following two weeks, it increases it's "birth" weight by 3000 times. Which is like an 8lb baby growing to 10 tonnes in two weeks (that's the weight of about 5 cars!!!) No wonder it needs to shed its skin three or four times in such a short time.
