Frogs – Public Speaking

Introduction

 

What do frogs eat at a restaurant? They eat french fries and a diet croak. Can you guess what I will be talking about today… Frogs!! Have you ever thought about getting a pet frog? If you thought no, you were WRONG, Everyone needs a frog. When you go to a pet store, get a frog! It can’t harm you, go get it! YAY!

 

Good morning, and HI! I’m Sam, the one who loves frogs most, and I will make you get a frog in not so long. Before I start, get your money ready because I guarantee you that you will want to buy 700 or more frogs by the time we are finished!    I will tell you about types of frogs, facts about frogs and why you should get a frog.

 

Types of frogs

 

To start, I’m going to tell you all about frogs! Frogs come in so many, lots of different types. Here is the long and short part (you may not understand) First comes true toads, American bullfrogs, tree frogs and even more (like 6000 more!) You should own tree frogs or frogs you can buy from your local pet store, but you should not get a frog with vibrant colours because usually they are poisonous or carry venom. There are billions (less) of frogs out there.

 

 My point is… GET A FROG! You will never need to be bored again (unless you don’t have a frog)  once you have a frog, just think how much you have changed after you get a frog. Now you can be alive and free from boredom FOR THE REST OF YOUR LIFE (yay!

 

Fact about frogs

 

Frogs do not need much equipment, just a bit, and it depends on the type of frog you have. If you have an African dwarf frog (like I have) you need a tank. What’s weird about them is they need to live in the water, but they need air to live as well. They go up for air every 15 minutes; It just comes back up and takes a breath.  One of the best tanks you could get is one at big ALS. A fish store.

 

Let’s talk more about frogs and how they feel. A lot of people with no brains think frogs are disgusting and slimy. They are not slimy, but they are wet, also frogs are very holdable. Frogs are easy to hold, but they are hard to catch and a fact about frogs is that when you hold it the scent of your hand makes the mom frog abandon the baby frog, devastating, right? That means the best way to hold a frog is to use a scent of dirt, or put dirt on a plastic bag and put your hand in it, and the last suggestion is to put water and dirt (something that smells bad and is moist.) Here is why, frogs breathe out of their skin, and they can’t breathe so easily if you hold them, and you should at least hold frogs for 1–7 minutes

 

You might be thinking and may have some questions… Where do you find frogs? Can a frog smile? Are frogs dangerous?

But don’t worry, only some types are actually dangerous.

 

Here is a cool fact about frogs. There are over 5,000 species of frogs. Scientists continue discovering new species. Frog species come in a huge variety of sizes and colours. They can be found in a variety of habitats on every continent except Antarctica. Frogs are amphibians, which are cold-blooded  and they don’t have scales! They are vertebrates, which means they have backbones that don’t have scales. 

 

Convincing you to get a frog

 

Now Here I’m going to pretty much CONVINCE you to get a frog. Well no, not convince you, I will MAKE you get one. Frogs are so cute and guess what! This right here will blow your mind. Frogs do enjoy being petted because they are afraid of being squished. When people pet them, they may not be aware of it, but a frog’s body is very slimy, and they may slip and fall to the ground (uh oh)!

 

 

Conclusion

 

In conclusion, I have told you about different types of frogs, their emotions and how they feel, why you should get one, and the equipment you will need. I have a frog and they make great pets.  Thank you for listening to my presentation.

 

Self Directed Science

Intro: hi im sam and i am going to talk about my self directed science.

first ill tell you about amethyst. it is actually not its own crystal is is just crystalline quartz. colors are a light lilac and it can also be dark purple-red. its high in hardness, its a 7. the february birthstone is actually amethyst. it can be carved, cabbbed and made into big big big options of beads and other carvable stuff.

 

Engaging in the learning:

Get this, you’re on a part of the titanic in the whole pacific and then suddenly there was a big thunderstorm, Even when you had a record-breaking amethyst. You were struggling to stay on the boat and 2 of the 3 of you fell off the boat. Well I made that out of cardboard and I brought an amethyst from my house. Here are the steps how to make it

  1. get a peice of cardboard
  2. cut off the top
  3. get amethyst
  4. colour or print some blue caves on the sides
  5. get 4 peices of cardboard and shape it into a boat shape
  6. make a small box with hot glue
  7. get an amethyst and put it on your titanic piece
  8. get some string and hot glue it on the boat\
  9. add 3 people
  10. you finished

here is a video of the final product (also explaining it)
and after you listened to it, here is the picture of it if you finished and done all the steps you need to do to make your boat on the pacific ocean.

i think it would be better if i made the boat bigger and make the scene a bit more ovbious. i would change the look of the scene.
