The life cycle of a frog is very interesting. First, a frog will lay its eggs in water. The eggs are inside a jelly-like covering. Soon tadpoles begin to grow inside the eggs.

Then a tadpole will develop lungs and go to the surface of the water to breathe. Now the tadpole looks more like a frog. It will climb out of the water to eat insects and worms.
