SHORT FILM WORKSHEET
The Spring Peepers are Back!
Hearing the sound of frogs and toads calling is a sure sign that the warm weather is back for the season.
The first frogs to call in the spring are the spring peepers. Frogs are amphibians and though they
may be seen on land, they always lay their eggs in the water. To protect our native frogs, we have to
protect our wetlands from pollutants. Frog eggs are very sensitive to chemical pollution and changes in
pH (from acid rain). They will not hatch unless their environment is just right. See if you can name the
frogs you might see in a wetland near you.
