After a trip to a nearby pond we discovered thousands of tadpoles.We gathered nets and buckets and began the fun of catching them. They were at tadpole stage with tales and gills We transferred many to our duck pond at home Others we took to the classroom for observation. We put them in a glass jar with a air bubbler pump and a desk lamp. We fed them gold fish food once a day. We observed for a week and they began to get back legs then front legs, and finally they jumped on the rock and sat. Their tales began to shrink and after a day we had leopard frogs.
