Project Title: Save the Frogs
Mission:
How can we help save the frogs?
Culminating / Take Action Project
Create a origami jumping frogs and a 3D diorama of a frog hotel to show how we can all help to save frogs.
What Kids Learn
Did you know that we have lost about 200 species of frogs since 1970? That is a lot of frogs. Students in this project learn how important it is for us to help save the frogs. They read about what is special about a frog, why it is in danger, who is helping, and how they can help. Students then create origami frogs and play a game of hopping frogs with a friend to teach others about frogs. They also design a 3D frog hotel diorama to demonstrate how creativity can be used to save frogs.
