Frog Science Activities
Frogs are amphibians distinguished by their short bodies, protruding eyes, folded limbs and the absence of a tail in the adults. There are 4,800 species of frog widely distributed around the Earth. Typically, frogs have a cleft tongue and they jump - the word frog comes from the Old English "frogga" meaning to jump.

Figure 2.1 uses the development of a frog to show a representative life cycle. Let us look at this life cycle in a bit more detail. First, in most frogs, gametogenesis and fertilization are seasonal events for this animal, because its life depends upon the plants and insects in the pond where it lives and on the temperature of the air and water.
The name frog derives from Old English frogga, abbreviated to frox, forsc, and frosc, probably deriving from Proto-Indo-European preu = "to jump". About 88% of amphibian species are classified in the order Anura. These include around 4,810 species in 33 families, of which the Leptodactylidae (1,100 spp.), Hylidae (800 spp.)
