EcoCode - Cryo Frog

Freeze tolerance in animals is an important biological adaptation that allows some species to survive extreme cold. Studying this process helps us understand how organisms protect their cells from damage when temperatures drop below freezing. The Cryo Frog slide deck explores this concept through the example of the wood frog, showing how chemical responses can prevent ice damage. Learners apply these ideas using physical computing, programming a micro:bit to monitor temperature and simulate freeze and thaw processes through code.
