Several of the tasks will refer to a Google Doc. Click the highlighted text to be taken to the Google Doc.
Copy and paste the Google Doc into a new one so other students can use it.
Frog Information
Before you dissect your frog, you have to know about it. For our dissection, we will be using an American bullfrog (Lithobates catesbeianus). Use the following resources below to find 10 facts about bullfrogs. Once you have found your facts, compile them under the appropriate section on the Google Doc.
