Habitat Matching Activity
Work in groups of 4 Match frog traits with correct habitats Smooth skin → moist places Strong legs → places to jump Share your thinking with the class

What We Learned Today
Frogs have smooth, moist skin They have long legs for jumping Frogs live near water in ponds and wetlands They are amphibians - livinon land AND in water Their body parts help them survive in their habitat
