The Life Cycle of a Frog

The Life Cycle of a Frog
In a frogs life cycle there are three stages: the Egg,larva, and adult. Frogs are amphibians, which means that they can live in water or on land. They go through several stages of life before they become adult frogs and during those stages, they live only in water.

 Egg
The first stage is the egg.The female frog lays lots of eggs at one time in a pond.Egg should float to the top of the surfers in mass or big clusters. The eggs are probably the size of peas and feel like jelly but you should never touch them because it can harm then and then in the center of the egg there is a little black dot.which makes it look like an eye.

 Tadpole
Next part is the hatching.when they first hatch the tadpole looks more like a fish than a frog at this point think it's because when they are this young they don’t have any legs so if you think about it they basically are fish. Another thing that makes them very similar is that have gilles so they can breath under water.now all they do at this stage is swim,eat,and grow for a few weeks.what do they eat you ask plants and algae from the water but they will only eat the plant if it is nice and soft for them to eat because they cant chew things very easy.but they also start to grow lungs in this time so when they are a frog they can breath out of water.then they start to grow there hind legs.Now it can lep around everywhere instead of swimming.Although the tadpole is starting to look a little more like a frog it still has a very long tail!

 Young
Frog Now this is the interesting part!The very first stage of a young frog is that it grows its front legs but it should already have its back ones thought.The tail begins to get shorter and shorter and they get older.The tadpole,Frog starts to use the nutrients stored in its tail as food so until its tail is completely gone it doesn’t need anything else to eat! Then just a little stub of its tail is left and the tadpole is a young frog. It hops right out of the water and onto dry land for the first time!
The frog is still very small.

 Adult Frog
 Now frome here on the frog just needs grow nice and big.The little stubby tail will eventually disappear and the frog will start to eat insects and bugs instead of plants from the water.The little frog will grow really big and it will take about to 2-4 years for the frog to be fully grown and then the frog will then make its own family and lay some egg itself in a pond and then the cycle start all over again.

 I hope you indeed reading mt life cycle I know I definitely enjoyed writing it I hope you learnt lots from this because I know I did and maybe now you could go out and buy a tadpole and watch it grow and you would know all the things about it how to keep a live what it eats what it likes.

Water life cycle

Water life cycle Where does water come from? We are surrounded with water it is everywhere it falls from the sky,it pours over the cliffs,there are big ponds of water but yet people still have stopped asking where it comes from it is really complicated but at the same time is is really interesting.If someone asked you,where does water come from? It is something that everyone should know the answer to but not many people do so I will tell you the three stages.

1 Stage The first stage of the water cycle is when moisture from the sea and plants is lifted into the atmosphere.as the sun shines and beats down on the rivers.,lakes,and ponds This causes the water to rise into the air as water vapour. This process is known as evaporation. A tiny amount of moisture is also released from trees and plants. This is known as transpiration. About 85% of the water vapor in the air comes from water that evaporated from the oceans. The other 15% comes from evapotranspiration, which is a catch all term for water that evaporates from over land.

2 Stage The second stage is condensation.Now that the atmosphere is full of water vapor,the water condense into little water droplets.Sometimes in the morning the water vapor is all over the grass and they call it duwe and then seeps back into the soil after the sun comes out then it is ready to be evaporated again. But most of the water vapor condenses higher up in the air and forms clouds. Once the water has gone up and formed clouds two things can happen Either the cloud will dissipate and the water droplets will become vapor again,or the cloud will grow and it will begin to precipitate. 

3 Stage When water droplets get heavy enough they fall back down to Earth as rain! We call this precipitation because it can happen in a few different ways.Rain liquid water, snow frozen water and hail big pieces of frozen water. Precipitation brings the water back down to the sun shines on the water and it starts evaporating again. This is why we call it the water cycle.

Then this will happen all over again I hope that I have to taught you the cycle of the weather.Now in the morning when there is duwe on the grass you should know where it came from and where it will go when the sun comes up.As well as lots of other facts and informashon

The furure Is here

This week we have been working our way through this slid and this is as far as i have got so far

Maori feelings

In class we are learning Maori and today we learnt all the feelings.we had to make a drawing showing that we know then.

This is my Prototec for this week we only have to do three a week and this is my out come

Butterfly Life Cycle

A butterfly is an insect that comes in all different colours and size.Of course with a living thing there is a life cycle. Butterfly life cycle begins as a tiny egg.

Egg

As I said before a butterfly begins as an oval or round looking egg.The coolest thing about the egg is that if you look close enough that you can actually see the tiny caterpillar and the cool pattern of the body inside of the egg.There are many different types of egg shapes some are round some are oval they can also be ribbed while others may have other features. The egg shape depends on the type of butterfly that laid the egg.The eggs are usually laid on the leaves of the plant.So if you are trying to search for these tiny eggs then make sure to look. You will have to take some time and examine quite a few leaves in order to find some. 

caterpillars

When the egg first hatches lots of people thing that a butterfly would come out but that is not how it works.so in a butterfly's life there are four stages and this is only the second stage.Butterfly larvae are actually what we call caterpillars.Caterpillars don't do very much and they don't stay in this stage for very long all they do is eat so they can get nice and big.When they are born they will get to work and start eating the left that they were born on.This is really important so the mother butterfly knows where to lay her egg so she know that the caterpillars hatch eat eat the right left.Caterpillars start of as really small big by eat they can grow really fast.when they eat they instantly start growing and expanding.There skin does not stretch or grow so they get bigger by shedding their skin so they grow by molting.

Pupa

Pupa is the third stage pupa is one of the coolest stages of a butterfly's life. As soon as a caterpillar has reached their full length and weight they form themselves into a pupa or people call them chrysalis.From the outside of the pupa it looks as if the caterpillar may just be resting but the inside is where all of the action is. Inside of the pupa the caterpillar is changing like crazy.Now as most people know caterpillars as short stubby little thing with no wings or anything but little did you know that in the chrysalis with the old body is is really pretty and there remarkable transformation.To become the beautiful parts that make up the butterfly that will emerge.

Hatching

The last part of the butterfly’s life cycle is the adult butterfly and the hatching.Once the caterpillar has done all of its transformations inside of the pupa.If you are lucky you will get to see the caterpillar emerge.When the butterfly first emerges from the chrysalis both of the wings are going to be soft and folded against its body. This is because the butterfly had to fit all its new parts inside of the pupa. When the butterfly has rested after coming out of the pupa it will start to pump blood  into the wings in order to get them working and flapping then they get to fly.Usually within a three or four hour period.The butterfly will master flying and will search for a mate in order to reproduce.   

It is as simple as that I mean it's not that simple but there you go know how and butterfly life cycle works. I hope you indeed reading and I hope you learnt a lot of information about butterflies

Aotearoa

This term we have interchange for the first time interchange is where you rotate around different classes and learnt about different things.Every class is three different classes every rotate in and there's Ms power Miss Heinz and miss P.In Ms power we learn about science miss Heinz will learn about the world.Then in miss p we learn about Maori and this is what I did in miss p class I have'int finished but I will keep you up dated.

Prototec

each week we have to do 5 products and we have to show proof that we do them and this is all of mine i only just started

Pirmed

For the past week or so me and my friend have been trying to make a primed made out of match  they are about 6 cm long we are about half way does and it is looking really cool but we still have a lot to go.we are doing a pretty big one it will be doing a 5 by 5 that will be the length of the bottom and the we will billed it up from there.How do you make them? well you start of by making a Square  made out of four of the match sticks and then yo glue four more going up and then glue them altogether to make a small primed and the you make about 80 of them and the last step it to glue them all together to make a really bit one but we are not at that stage yet.
