Teach about life cycles and the scientific method by raising tadpoles in your classroom!
These lesson plans were originally developed for North Carolina teachers in the SciRen Network to provide some fun, practical, and educational resources that can be used in classrooms to teach kids basic scientific principles and stimulate excitement for science and nature.
The lesson plans and powerpoints are my own design, but I have gathered aides and materials that were created by other educators to offer a full complement of options for your classroom. As always, I am very open to suggestions and recommendations!
Please do reach out to me at my primary email with any questions about how to find/house/care for tadpoles.
