Frogs in the Classroom

Large wax and plaster anatomical model of a frog

For over a hundred years, frogs have been staple resources in the teaching of life sciences.

They represent shifting ideas about visual learning, and their history provides opportunities to reflect on why we teach with frogs at all.
