Before you start teaching, it is essential that you get to know the surroundings in which you will be working. Some suggestions for becoming familiar with the equipment are:
Attend an introductory session;
Book a time to visit the room with a technician or experienced user;
Sit in on a teaching session;
Book a practice session, ask someone to observe you and give feedback.

Why?
Frogs typically lay their eggs in water. The eggs hatch into aquatic larvae, called tadpoles, that have tails and internal gills. They have highly specialized rasping mouth parts suitable for herbivorous, omnivorous or planktivorous diets. The life cycle is completed when they metamorphose into adults. A few species deposit eggs on land or bypass the tadpole stage. Adult frogs generally have a carnivorous diet consisting of small invertebrates, but omnivorous species exist and a few feed on fruit. Frogs are extremely efficient at converting what they eat into body mass, which makes them an important food source for predators. Frogs are a keystone group in the food web dynamics of many of the world's ecosystems.
