Backyard Science: Tadpoles

My husband brought home a surprise for the kids last month: a large mason jar full of tadpoles.

We put the little guys into an empty fishtank (the last goldfish died really fast!) and have been watching them grow.



Last week the tadpoles sprouted super tiny legs.

The kids check on the tadpoles every day. I found a few books from our collection and more at the library for the kids to read/look at. It has been a fun experience--and my kids would never guess how much they are learning as they watch the tadpoles grow!
