METAMORPHOSIS FROM EGG TO TADPOLE TO FROG
1. Frog eggs hatch to become tadpoles.
2. Tadpoles have tails to swim with and they breathe using
gills.
3. Tadpoles then develop two small legs. They still swim in
water and breathe through gills.
4. A froglet then develops another two legs. It still has a tail.
The froglet can now start moving onto land.
5. Once the tail has fallen off, the frog can live on land or
swim in water.
6. A frog has two strong back legs for jumping and two
smaller front legs for landing.
7. Frogs now breathe with lungs and through their skin.
