Frog Presentations in Schools   

Description Students will find that our local frogs are as equally fascinating as the exotic species they see on TV and in pet shops. I bring most of the species found in Wisconsin, northern Illinois and eastern Minnesota.

Classroom Sessions I do not do assemblies. I feel much more learning takes place in an intimate environment between frogs and students. I present up to 4 one-hour sessions per day. Generally, students sit on the floor around a tablecloth and I bring frogs out, one species at a time. One classroom per session is best though teachers may double up classrooms if necessary (about 50 students.)

Fee Please contact me to discuss fees and contract arrangements.

AV Equipment I show DVD video clips of calling male frogs and will need a video projector or TV/DVD player.

Concepts are grade level-dependent. Animal behavior, life cycle, body structures, classification, vocalizations, camouflage, sexual dimorphism, feeding strategies, aquatic/terrestrial habitats, nocturnal/diurnal behavior, hibernation, populations.  

Science standards My frog presentations meet numerous national and sate science standards.
