Become a frog detective.  Your task is to find the answers to the following questions.  There are many sites at which you can find the answers.  But you really need to know that the sites are all listed on this page.  Look for keywords in the question to help you choose the right link on the page.    You won't need to go any further than the many links listed on the page.  Your answers should be informative, including an explanation - not 'yes' or 'no'.  I have included some clip art which you might like to use with your presentation.  Think about the themes of the clipart and use them appropriately.  Some more pictures can be found here.  Present your questions and answers (with some graphics) in ClarisWorks, and quiz your friends.
