Description
Students receive an informative and entertaining presentation about frogs and other amphibians. Later, during the evening session, students work in small groups to capture, identify and release frogs from the centre and its surrounds.
Each year level has a slightly different focus consistent with the Australian Curriculum.

Complements C2C Units: Organising & Affecting Organisms
This is a night time activity for camp schools. Students catch and collect frogs from nearby ponds and paddocks. They separate the frogs from the toads and attempt to identify the frog species.
Students also explore amphibians as a group. They look at the features that characterise ampbians and seperate them from reptiles, and fish.
SU: There are differences within and between groups of organisms; Classification helps organise this diversity (ACSSU111)
Interactions between organisms can be described in terms of food chains and food webs; human activity can affect these interactions (ACSSU112)
SIS: Collaboratively and individually plan and conduct a range of investigation types, including fieldwork, ensuring that safety and ethical guidelines are followed (ACSIS125)
