Frogs Forever? (Grades 2-4)
Explore the frog life-cycles with hands-on activities. See frogs in action and learn how these animals depend on the plants and animals in their wetland homes. Students put their creativity to work by designing their own frog species using the new information they have learned. Which frog sounds like a creaking door or a quacking duck? Join the Frogs Forever program to find out! The “BC Frog Chorus” challenges students to identify and mimic the calls of local and invasive species using some very unusual instruments.
A wonderful education workshop. Well organized and a fun atmosphere. Thank You! - Nancy, M.B. Sanford Elementary School, Surrey BC
