Solutions, Freezing & Cryoprotection - Wood Frog

Creature Teacher: The Wood Frog
Science Category: Chemistry

Students prepare three sugar solutions and compare how they change in the freezer over time. Inspired by the wood frog’s remarkable ability to release glucose throughout its body as freezing begins, this investigation explores solutions, concentration, freezing-point depression and how dissolved substances can change the way water freezes.

All Creature Curriculum resources are educator-designed, classroom-tested, and built to support joyful, meaningful science learning. Each lesson is one of dozens of interconnected investigations within a growing, field-based science library.

Field-guided. Educator made.
