Fascinating Fact:

Adult frog. The tail disappears. Now it is a fully grown frog that can hop, swim, and catch food.

In KS1 Science, children learn that frogs change in clear stages: eggs in jelly, tadpoles in water, tadpoles with legs, and finally adult frogs that can live on land.

  • Life cycle: The steps an animal goes through as it grows from young to adult.
  • Tadpole: A young frog that lives in water, breathes with gills, and has a tail.
  • Adult frog: The fully grown frog with legs and lungs, ready to hop, swim, and lay eggs.
What are the stages in the life cycle of a frog?

A frog’s life cycle has four main stages: eggs, tadpole, tadpole with legs, and adult frog. At each stage its body changes to help it survive better.

How is a tadpole different from an adult frog?

A tadpole has a tail, no legs, and lives only in water using gills. An adult frog has legs, no tail, breathes air with lungs, and can live on land.

How can I teach the frog life cycle to KS1 children?

Use simple diagrams, sequence cards, and short videos or stories. Ask children to order the stages and describe one change they notice at each step.

1 .
Where are you most likely to find a frog?
In a field
On a lawn
In a tree
Near a pond
There are some tree frogs, but not in this country
2 .
Frogs lay their eggs in ponds. What do we call their eggs?
Frogspawn
Hens’ eggs
Duck eggs
Tadpoles
What does frogspawn look like?
3 .
What hatch from the eggs of frogspawn and swim in the pond?
Frogs
Fish
Hens
Tadpoles
Tadpoles look like tiny baby fish. They have long tails
4 .
Look closely. What has this tadpole grown?
Arms
Legs
Fins
Claws
How many legs has it grown so far? - Two
5 .
This tadpole is turning into a froglet. A froglet is a young frog. How many legs has the froglet?
2
4
6
8
Young frogs still have a tail
6 .
When will you find frogspawn and tadpoles?
Christmas
Spring
Summer
Autumn
Frogspawn appears in ponds in early spring - in February and March
7 .
The tadpole grows legs. What does the tadpole lose as it changes into an adult frog?
Arms
Tail
Head
Body
Young frogs have a tail, but they lose it as they grow into adults
8 .
Which one of these is an adult?
Frogspawn
Tadpole
Froglet
Frog
What sound do frogs make?
9 .
What do frogs eat?
Flies
Leaves
Seeds
Fruit
Frogs are carnivores. As well as flies they also eat slugs and worms
10 .

With their legs
With a stick
With their tongues
With their feet
Frogs have really long, sticky tongues. They do not chew their food. They swallow it whole!
