I have a free toad and frog lapbook today. Be sure to look at my page Toads – Amphibians for more fun ideas and my lapbook ideas and best homeschool unit studies pages.

Amphibians include three major groups: 1. Salamanders, newts and sirens; and 2. Frogs and toads; and 3. Caecilians pronounced  (see-SIL-ee-ans).

Herpetology comes from the Greek word which means to creep. Some say herpetology is a jargon word and not even in the dictionary.

Free Toad and Frog Lapbook and Fun Homeschool Unit Study Ideas

Today, I have a fun frog lapbook which also includes facts about the differences between toads and frogs.

We did this unit study about frogs because we wanted to know the difference between a frog and toad.

The World Book Encyclopedia answers: “Most true toads have a broader, flatter body and darker, drier skin than do most true frogs. True toads are commonly covered with warts, but true frogs have smooth skin. Unlike most true frogs, the majority of true toads live on land. The adults go to water only to breed.”

But also look at more facts below about frogs.

10 Fun Frog Facts

  1. Frogs absorb water through their skin,
  2. Frogs can lay as many as 4,000 eggs.
  3. The eyes and nose of a frog are on top of its head so it can breathe and see when most of its body is under the water.
  4. Frogs need both water and land to live.
  5. A frog can change the color of its skin depending on its surroundings.
  6. Frogs have long back legs and webbed feet for jumping and swimming.
  7. Certain frogs can jump up to 20 times their own body length in a single leap.
  8. Frogs usually eat meat (bugs and worms) and swallow their food whole.
  9. Frogs and toads make our lives more bearable and reduce disease transmission because they consume large numbers of insects.
  10. Metamorphosis is a change in form from one stage to the next in the life history of an organism.

Too, look at some of these fun frog books.

      And a great way to begin this unit study is to make a delicious and fun edible bird nest.

      This one is a great addition to this bird unit study.

      Free Bird Unit Study and Lapbook And Fun Edible Bird Nests

      It’s easy, adorable and tasty.

      Make these edible bird nests together with your budding ornithologist as part of a bigger study.

      This unit study comes just in time for National Bird Day on January 5th.

      First, begin with some of these topics to cover in the bird study.

      • Common Species
      • Feathers
      • Beaks and their uses
      • Migration
      • Nests
      • Eggs
      • Calls

      In addition, here are two more facts:

      1. All birds have feathers, but not all birds can fly. For example, penguins do not fly.
      2. And all birds lay eggs, breathe air, and are warm blooded.

      Bird Watching Questions

      Next, when we learn about birds, I find a list of questions helps to identify what type of bird we’re looking at.

      These same questions can be used in your nature walk or just looking in your backyard.

      1. What is the bird doing? (Answer: Flying, perching, hopping, in water, climbing,etc.)
      2. What shape is the bird? (Answer: Look at bird head size to body proportion. And beak size to bird head. Notice the bird’s overall body size.)
      3. How big is it?
      4. Explain what are field markings. For instance, stripes, colors, patches and patterns are field markings. So then ask what field markings do you see?
      5. Are the wings round or pointed?
      6. And what shape is the bill?
      7. How is the bird behaving? (Answer: What is the feeding style, how is it moving and is it with a flock or alone,)

      I would highly recommend a field guide and binoculars to do research in real life

      Moreover, research about different types of bird nests.

      5 Common Types of Bird Nests

      Also, when your child knows how to observe the types of nests, then it helps to match them with type of bird.

      Besides many animals build nests and birds are some of the most expert builders.

      Most birds’ nests fall into 5 main types of nests.

      1. cupped (or half-cupped). Used by songbirds and are round with a dip in the center. And swallows use half-cupped nests which adhere to a surface.
      2. cavity. Woodpeckers used cavities in a tree.
      3. Pendulum or Pendant. Baltimore Orioles use suspending type sac-like nests.
      4. Scrape. Used by ground-nesting birds in open habitats. Killdeer make scrape nests.
      5. Burrow. Burrowing Owls make burrow nests.

      Cupped nest. A cup nest is cup-shaped and can be made with a variety of materials such as grass, moss,
      lichen, or spiderweb

      Cavity nest: A cavity nest is a hollowed-out opening in the trunk of a tree.

      Pendulum or pendant nest: A hanging sac-like shape, usually suspended from a small tree branch.

      Scrape – A type of nest without much material and are shallow ground impressions.

      Burrow – This is either a hole burrowed or borrowed from another animal.

      Lastly, think about the type of materials a bird collects to build a list. Have your child collect some of them to build his special nest.

      • dried grass
      • twigs
      • green grass
      • feathers
      • hair
      • mud or dirt
      • leaves
      • bark
      • pine needles
      • straw
      • shredded plant stems
      • animal hair
      • moss
      • old spiderwebs

      In addition, I have been very careful not to include pictures of nudity.

      Ancient Rome for Kids through the Lives of its Heroes, Emperors, and Philosophers (History for Kids - Story Format)

      When I first discovered that my 8-year-old kid believed that the adventures of Odysseus were the actual history of ancient Greece, I panicked and bought him a stack of children's history books. I sat by his side as he started reading about the class structure of Athens and the economic underpinnings of the Greek polis. He yawned. He asked for candy... and then for the Disney Channel...Kids like stories. And when it comes to history, they learn from stories, not from dense paragraphs about the phases of the Bronze age, the location of trade routes, or the injustices of the social order here and there.This book follows the old-fashioned, story-based, traditional route of teaching history - through tales of heroes and kings, with no tribute paid to modern economic and social perspectives. Culture is memes. And that means historical figures, and anecdotes about them. To write this book, I went back to Tacitus, Livy, Suetonius, Cassius Dio, Valerius Maximus, Josephus, Eusebius, Theodoret, and other ancient sources of biographical anecdotes, and extracted from them the stories that will be most memorable to a modern kid
