This simple activity allows student to manipulate 5 arrow-shaped pieces into a circular/cyclical puzzle that represents the "Life Cycle of a Frog."
Each piece shows an illustrative image of a stage of a green frog's life cycle: from eggs, to a tadpole, to a tadpole with legs, to a froglet, to an adult frogs (who then lays eggs).
When placed in the proper order, the pieces fit together and arrows indicate the cyclical nature of living organisms, like the green frog, that continue around and around and around.
