The Secret of Frozen Frogs! | Winter Science | SciShow Kids

The video explores how wood frogs survive freezing temperatures by partially freezing their bodies. It explains the science behind water freezing into ice crystals and how sugar can slow this process. An experiment is suggested to demonstrate sugar's effect on freezing. The video concludes with insights into the wood frog's unique survival mechanisms.

What unique ability do wood frogs have during winter?

• They grow thicker fur.

• They hibernate underground.

• They freeze completely and thaw in spring.

• They migrate to warmer areas.

Why is freezing potentially harmful to living organisms?

• It causes dehydration.

• Ice crystals can damage cells.

• It leads to overheating.

• It reduces oxygen levels.

What happens to water when it freezes?

• It evaporates quickly.

• It expands and forms crystals.

• It shrinks and becomes denser.

• It turns into a gas.

How do wood frogs prevent ice from forming in their vital organs?

• By using sugar to disrupt ice crystal formation.

• By reducing their heart rate.

• By increasing their body temperature.

• By moving to a warmer environment.

What role does sugar play in the wood frog's survival during freezing?

• It acts as an antifreeze by disrupting ice crystal patterns.

• It provides energy for muscle movement.

• It attracts more water to the body.

• It helps in faster thawing.
