Frog Life Cycle Explained for Class 8

The frog life cycle has four stages: egg, tadpole, young frog, and adult frog. Frogs lay eggs in water, which hatch into tadpoles. Tadpoles look more like fish - they have tails and gills. Over time, tadpoles grow legs and lungs as they develop into young frogs. Young frogs can live on land, and after four years become adult frogs that lay eggs, continuing the cycle.

Primary Worksheets: Frog Life Cycle

The life cycle of a frog has four stages: the egg,


tadpole, young frog, and adult frog stages. The
growing process is known as metamorphosis.
Frogs are amphibians. This means they can live
in water or on land. Before becoming an adult
frog, they only live in water.
Primary Worksheets: Frog Life Cycle

The life of a frog begins as a fertilized egg.


Female frogs lay lots of eggs in a pond at one
time. The eggs are in a jelly mass and will hatch
into tadpoles.
Tadpoles looks more like a fish than a frog. It
doesn’t have any legs and has gills that allow it
to breathe underwater. Tadpoles eat plants
and algae from the pond and grows for several
weeks. During this time, tadpoles start to
develop lungs and legs.
Primary Worksheets: Frog Life Cycle

Tadpoles begin by growing two hind legs. It can


start leaping instead of swimming! Then it grows
its front legs. Its tail gets shorter and shorter. It
doesn’t need anything else to eat as the
nutrients are stored in its tail!
Once a little bit of its tail is left, the tadpole
becomes a young frog. It can come out of the
water and onto dry land! The tail will eventually
disappear, and the frogs will start to eat insects
instead of plants from the water. After four years,
it becomes an adult frog that is able to lay eggs!
