Frogs
are one of my favorite critters. Many times I've wished I
had those powerful legs and webbed feet for swimming and jumping.
That long tongue might be a very useful thing too. Aside from
that frogs are very interesting and beneficial ... just think
of the insects they eat. Frogs come in many sizes and colors.
Anywhere you can find a little water, frogs will be there
to do their job.

All
About Frogs for Kids and Teachers
Oodles of frog facts organized as questions
and answers make All About Frogs an excellent first hop on
our online frog tour. Beyond the Q's and A's you'll find fun
frog crafts, songs and poems, original froggie clipart (free
for non-commercial use), and links to lesson plans for K-8
teachers. Although the bulk of this site is for elementary
students, middle and high-school students will find links
to sites with more in-depth coverage under More Frog Facts
and Information.

CGEE:
A Thousand Friends of Frogs
In August 1995, students from the Minnesota
New Country School found deformed frogs near the Minnesota
River. A research scientist from the Minnesota Pollution Control
Agency wondered what else might be found if thousands of kids
were looking in their backyards and so A Thousand Friends
of Frogs was born. To study frogs in your hometown, click
on Students/Get Involved. There is a data sheet you can use
to collect your findings, and lots to learn about frogs as
bio-indicators in the Science section.

Exploratorium:
Frogs
My pick of the day comes from The Exploratorium
museum of San Francisco. Visit to enjoy the well-written articles,
illustrated with photos and video clips. The lead feature,
The Amazing Adaptable Frog, is a must see, as is the click-and-hear
(ribbit, ribbit) Frog Tracker exhibit. For something a little
different, venture beyond biology with Tales and Tours, where
you can become acquainted with Frog City, Louisiana or learn
about Frog Myths Across Cultures.

of Native Americans
The
Bancroft Library presents "Images of Native Americans,"
a digital companion to an exhibit of rare books, photographs,
illustrations, and other archival and manuscript materials
that debuted in the Fall of 2000, to celebrate the acquisition
of the University of California, Berkeley Library's nine millionth
volume.
