**3. Articles and pictures about the Life Cycle of a frog.**
[] 4. This is a website about the life cycle of a frog. It has links to interesting activities and information. Use for **Lesson 5.** Welcome to the Frog Life Cycle information website. We have several articles all about frogs including: While mom and dad frog are hugging, mom frog will lay a bunch of eggs for the dad frog to fertilize. Unlike human eggs, frog eggs are fertilized by dad frog when they are outside of the mom frog’s body. This is called spawning and is the very beginning of the frog life cycle. After the mom and dad frog have finished spawning, dad frog leaves, and sometimes the mom frog does, too.

=This website shows the human life cycle and has links to other life cycles and activities. You can click on each part of the human life cycle on the website to find additional information.= Animals can live happily all their lives, growing, eating and moving around, but if they don't reproduce (make babies) they won't have anything to show for themselves in the future - their species will quickly die out. Human babies develop within their mother for nine months before they are born. They grow into children, adolescents, and eventually, adults.
