Correct, Very good! It’s a frog teacher!
3. Analysis
So, class as we watched a short video and do
our activities. What do you think is our topic
for today?
I think our topic for today teacher is
Very good, What else? about frog!
Okay Very good! It seems like you really paid It was about the life cycle of a frog,
attention to the video! teacher like the one we watched
earlier!
Our topic for today is about the LIFE CYCLE
OF FROG.
We are going to talk about how do the life
stages of the frog begin.
So, Class are you excited and ready?
4. Abstraction Yes teacher!
So, now let’s start our lesson.
First let’s talk about what is LIFE CYCLE?
Is any body have an idea what is a Life Cycle?
Yes, Jade? For me teacher life cycle refers to the
stages or changes that an animal goes
through while it’s alive
Very spectacular! Let’s her a JOLLIBEE
CLAP.
A life cycle refers to the stages or changes
that an animal goes through while it's alive. A
life cycle repeats itself, or goes in a circle, for
each new generation of life. A frog goes
through five stages of life. In each stage, it
changes and grows.
Metamorphosis is another word for the
changes an animal makes during its life cycle.
During a frog's metamorphosis, an egg will
hatch into a tadpole, which will then develop
back legs first, then front legs, and become a
full- grown adult frog!
Again what is Metamorphosis? Metamorphosis is another word for the
changes an animal makes during its life
cycle
Correct! Very good
Children, eyes hear on the board. We will be
tackled the life cycle of the frog or its stages.
Frogs are amphibians, which means that they
can live in water or on land. They go through
several stages of life before they become
adult frogs and during those stages, they live
only in water.
These are the stages of the frog:
What is this?
I think teacher that is egg of frog?
Yes, Correct! Egg is the first stage of cycle of
frog.
Stage 1: Egg
Frogs lay fertilized eggs. That's where new
frogs come from. A female frog can lay up to
4,000 eggs at a time! The eggs float on water
in a jelly mass or cluster. The eggs hatch in
one to three weeks into tadpoles! Not all frog eggs will survive. Some
may not be fertilized, and the
Do you think the 4,000 frog eggs will hatch? conditions in the water might not be
good for them. Natural calamities, like
heavy rain or changes in water levels,
can also affect their survival. Usually,
only a small number of the eggs will
turn into adult frogs.
Excellent!
Look at to this second picture, anyone who
can identify what is this?
No one? Okay this is tadpole the second stage
of cycle of frog.
Stage 2: Tadpole Then a tadpole hatches from
an egg. When the tadpole hatches, it looks
more like a fish than a frog. A tadpole lives in
water. It uses gills to breathe and it has no legs.
The tadpole swims, eats plants and algae from
the water, and grows for several weeks.
How about this one? What do you think is this?
Teacher I thinks that is a baby frog!
Very good! This is froglet the third stage of
cycle of frog
Stage 3: Froglet
During this time, the tadpole starts to develop
lungs so it will be able to breathe out of the
water when it becomes a frog. The froglet can
leap around instead of only swimming.
Although the froglet is starting to look a little
more like a frog, it still has a very long tail!
Stage 4: Young Frog
The froglet grows two front legs and its long
tail becomes shorter and shorter. The tadpole
uses the nutrients stored in its tail as food, so
until its tail is completely gone, it doesn't
need anything else to eat! Then just a little
stub of its tail is left, and the froglet is a
young frog. It hops right out of the water and
onto dry land for the first time! The frog is
still very small.
Yes teacher!
Understand?
The last stage, anyone can identify what is
this?
Adult frog teacher!
Correct, This is adult frog the last stage of
cycle of a frog
Stage 5: Adult Frog
The frog's tail will eventually disappear
completely and it will start to eat insects
instead of plants from the water. The young
frog will grow for about 2-4 years to become
an adult. The adult frogs lay their eggs and
more tadpoles hatch and begin the cycle again. Teacher Eggs, Tadpole , Froglet,
Young Frog and Adult Frog po
What is the 5 stages of Cycle of a frog?
Okay very good, I think you really understand
our topic for today.
5. Application
Okay, so now let’s proceed to our group
activity. Teacher prepared another game for
you. Are you all ready?
Okay very good, this game called “First
Served!" Have you heard this game before? No teacher
Okay, so the rules of this game are first I’m
going to group you in 2 groups. Second, you
will choose three representatives. The third
representative will ask questions, and the first
group to write the correct answer on the
blackboard wins. Remember, do not shout
your answers, okay? The group with 2 points
will receive chips. Do you understand?
Yes teacher
Okay let’s start!
What do we call if the animals can both live GROUP 1 – Amphibians
in the water and the land?
Answer: Amphibians
Great! It is amphibians
Next question at what stage of the cycle of GROUP 2- Froglet
life of a frog the lungs will develop?
Very good it is in stage 3, the froglet.
Last question! Give me the 5 stages of the life GROUP 1 –
cycle of the frog? Eggs
Tadpole
Yes, these are: Froglets
Young frog
Eggs Adult frog
Tadpole
Froglets
Young frog
Adult frog
The winner is group 1!
(Give them 1 chip each)
6. Evaluation
So, class before we end our class for today.
Let’s have a short quiz. Teacher prepared
printable materials so that you don’t have to
write anything.
7. Assignment
Create a simple drawing showing all the
stages of the frog's life cycle. Label each
stage with the correct name.
