The Amphibian Foundation offers many biology and conservation programs for kids. The following programs are offered for classroom studies, projects and experiments. All amphibians are donated by The Amphibian Foundation and its partners to schools for their experiments.

**As the animals donated are born at the Amphibian Foundation, some of the projects are dependent on the availability of the baby frogs and salamanders**

Rainforest Project

Rainforest Project

This project is intended for 2nd - 4th Grade Classrooms. Students research rainforests and what makes them unique. They investigate the qualities that make a rainforest, and work towards using the key features to design a vivarium that can sustain rainforest frogs, like Cobalt Poison Frogs. With guidance, the students will construct the enclosure and when it is ready — we add the baby Poison Frogs!

    Amphibian Foundation Founders Mark and Crystal Mandica standing outside Colham Ferry Elementary School, after giving a presentation on amphibian conservation and the Frosted Flatwoods Salamander. Mark originally reached out to the school — which as you can see here has a huge Flatwoods Salamander sign in front of the school — to engage the students about the significance of this species, and how much he loved that they are celebrating the salamander.
