Amphibian Alert Curriculum
This curriculum aims to teach children what amphibians are and why amphibian population declines are important to scientists and communities throughout the world. The amphibian decline dilemma represents an outstanding opportunity for educators to introduce into the classroom a real-world problem that is being addresses by science. You need not be a science specialist to teach the Amphibian Alert! curriculum. The curriculum targets grades 2-5. However, many activities can be easily adapted for other grades and ability levels. Frogs are well loved by children, yet traditionally very little is taught in classrooms about frogs and other amphibians. Textbooks generally afford them very little space and we as adults greatly underestimate their role in nature. Meanwhile, these small but charming and ecologically important animals are disappearing from our world.
