FROG SCRAPBOOK SCIENCE PROJECT

Project Overview:

We will be creating scrapbooks about frogs. This project will focus on what you discover for yourself. You will answer the questions below through your scrapbook. I have included the grading rubric below.

Essential Questions:

What family of animals does the frog come from?

What is the life cycle of a frog like?

What special parts do frogs have?

How do frogs defend themselves?

What’s “cool” about frogs?

This scrapbook must include:

1.  Answers to all essential questions.

2.  Graphics or illustrations on every page with your writing.

3.  An easy to read title page which is creative and bright.

4.  Correct grammar, spelling and sentence structure.

Grading will be as follows:

GOOD LUCK! Mrs. Archer
