🐸 Where This Fits in Science Sequence
Life cycle study follows animal classification and comes before more complex ecosystem understanding. Children ready for life cycle work can already identify basic animal groups and understand that living things change over time. The frog life cycle is particularly powerful because the transformation from water-breathing tadpole to air-breathing frog is dramatic and observable. This concrete example prepares children for understanding other metamorphosis cycles like butterflies and more abstract concepts of growth and change.
