To solve this puzzle, we need to put the stages of a frog's life in the correct order. The arrows show us the direction the cycle goes. Let's follow the numbers 1 through 5 and match them with the pictures at the bottom.
Step 1: Look at Box 1
The cycle usually starts at the beginning. In nature, frogs start as eggs. Looking at the options at the bottom, the picture labeled
Eggs shows a cluster of small circles. This is the very first stage.
*
Box 1 = Eggs
Step 2: Look at Box 2
After the eggs hatch, what comes out? A tadpole! The picture labeled
Tadpole shows a small creature with a tail but no legs yet. This is the second stage.
*
Box 2 = Tadpole
Step 3: Look at Box 3
As the tadpole grows, it starts to change. It grows back legs first, then front legs. The picture labeled
Tadpole with legs shows a tadpole that has grown two back legs. This happens after it is just a regular tadpole.
*
Box 3 = Tadpole with legs
Step 4: Look at Box 4
Next, the tadpole grows its front legs and its tail starts to get shorter. It looks like a tiny frog but still has a little tail. This stage is called a froglet. The picture labeled
Froglet matches this description perfectly.
*
Box 4 = Froglet
Step 5: Look at Box 5
Finally, the froglet loses its tail completely and becomes a full-grown adult. The picture labeled
Frog shows the adult animal. This adult frog will eventually lay eggs, starting the cycle all over again.
*
Box 5 = Frog
Let's double-check the order:
1. Eggs → 2. Tadpole → 3. Tadpole with legs → 4. Froglet → 5. Frog.
This follows the natural life cycle correctly.
Final Answer:
1: Eggs
2: Tadpole
3: Tadpole with legs
4: Froglet
5: Frog
