Discovering the frog life cycle through LEGO!

Great fun today taking what the kids already knew about the frog life cycle and building it through moving LEGO bots.  They analyzed how to change their tadpoles into froglets and then finally into frogs by changing their creations but being mindful of motion and drag.
