A warning video about how frogs have survived over time. Bu, this are vanishing off the face of the Earth. Despite international alarm and a decade and a half of scientists scrambling for answers.

When Michael Caldwell, of the Smithsonian Tropical Research Institute, filmed the frogs under infrared light he saw a behavior had hadn't seen ...before -- the frogs started vigorously shaking the branches they were sitting on. Caldwell and colleagues, including Karen Warkentin of Boston University (3:47)

Watch leopard frogs leap among the leaves and dive into the water in this video. This is a great video to help build background knowledge with our students. This video would work well in conjunction with a story about frogs and/or a science unit abou...t amphibians. Students will enjoy this naturalistic video (1:09).

This Australian frog can hold water for two years, long enough to live through most droughts. Less than 12 inches of rain a year falls where the Water Holding Frog lives. The frog burrows into mud and creates a kind of burial chamber for itself while... it waits for the next rainy season. The frog cocoons itself into its skin. When the rain falls again the frog comes out of its self induced coma and works to find a mate. This is a great teaching resource for elementary/middle school students. It would work well in conjunction with a thematic unit and/or science unit/lesson on amphibians. This video provides background knowledge for this animal and Australia. (1:51)

It may be the greatest mass extinction since the dinosaurs. Population by population, species by species, amphibians are vanishing off the face of the Earth. Scientists are taking desperate measures to try to save those frogs they can, even bathing f...rogs in Clorox solutions and keeping them in Tupperware boxes under carefully controlled conditions to prevent the spread of a deadly fungus.
