  1. It seems to me that lungs exist to bring air to the capillaries. So I think that the air would go directly through the frog's skin into the bloodstream, and carbon dioxide also be released through the skin, eliminating the need to breath through the mouth. The skin must be a very thin membrane, obviously porous. I wonder if it can breathe underwater! Your site looked so empty without comments, so I decided to drop by. It was great to see you at Age Groups, enjoy the rest of your summer! ~Cameron

  2. Hey Cameron,

    It is summer so I expected this depressing lack of comments.

    It was great to see you at age groups. Just being at that meet means that your times must be great!

    Make sure you stay in touch next year as an 8th grader. Also, keep stopping by the blog every so often to straighten out my new 7th graders! :-)

    All the best!

  4. Mr. Forde, that youtube video where beaker sings yellow by coldplay made me crack up. I loved the look on beakers face when he was singing. Rock on!

  7. I read the link on frog and thought it was prety interesting. Cameron has a good theory, and it seems very plausible. The video of the beaker singing didnt work on my computer though, but it's probably just for me it doesent work.

  8. Hey Mr. Forde!
    This is Melissa Migden's little sister Janine. Sorry I missed the first day of school;i was still on vacation but I can't wait to get started for the new school year. I wonder that if you cover the frogs skin it would have a hard time breathing.I bet it probably would. This frog kind of reminds me of the see-through frog we learned about last year.
    Well I'll see you soon!

  10. Hey Mr. Ford! Whats up? I love all of the videos on your blog they were soo funny, and I also liked the Alien Dance you showed us on the first day. I feel kinda bad for the alien who got hit with the disco ball..Im guessing it was a rough day! Maybe she wont survive! The stories on the blog were interesting too. I liked the story about the frog especially.

  11. Hi all,

    Thanks for the great comments!

    I am glad you are enjoying the videos. Fortunately the Alien in the video is not real because that disco ball would really hurt.

    Janine...tell me about the see through frog you learned about??
