Frogs are amphibians. Amphibians spend part of their
lives under water. Young frogs start their life in water as
tadpoles.
First, the female frog lays lots of eggs so some will
survive from being eaten by fish and other animals. The eggs are
smakk and often laid inside white foam.
Next, the eggs hatch into tadpoles. Tadpoles have gills
so they can breath under water and a strong tail to help them
swim.
As the tadpoles grow bigger, they start to change
because they need to become a frog. Their tail becomes smaller
and they begin growing legs. The back legs grow firs followed by
the front legs.
Tadpoles also start to develop lungs because they have
to be ready to breathe
Tadpoles may beonfound
land when they become
in billabongs, lakes, a frog. or
swamps
even in puddles after heavy rain.

First, bees drink nectar from flowers using their
long tongue. Their tongue helps them to reach the
nectar inside the flower.
Then, bees store the nectar in a special sac
called a honey stomach. Inside the stomach, special
enzyme changes nectar into two sugars called fructose
and glucose.
After the bees return to their hive, they spit the
nectar from its honey stomach into one of the cells.
Next, the heat in the hive evaporate water from
the nectar and it turns into honey.
Finally, the bees cover the cell with a wax cap.

Bees are the only insects which produce food for humans.
The food the honey bee produces is unique, good tasting,
beneficial and nutricious. So, how does a bee make honey?

First, bees drink nectar from flowers using their long

tongue. Their tongue helps them to reach the nectar inside the
flower.
Then, bees store the nectar in a special sac called a honey
stomach. Inside the stomach, special enzyme changes nectar into
two sugars called fructose and glucose.
After the bees return to their hive, they spit the nectar
from its honey stomach into one of the cells.
Next, the heat in the hive evaporate water from the nectar
and it turns into honey.
Finally, the bees cover the cell with a wax cap.
Thousands of worker bees can produce over 200 pounds of
honey for the colony in a year. Imagine if there are no bees on
this earth!
