Life in the rainforest

6 Lessons | 29-33 Days of Instruction

In the first section of this unit, students will explore the living and nonliving things in a rainforest. They plant seeds to figure out what plants need to grow and complete a card sort activity to figure out what animals need to grow and survive. They match animals to their environments and think about how they get what they need from where they live. In the second section, students read about the rainforest being cut down and think about how this impacts the organisms that live there. They develop models to communicate to others about protecting the rainforest.
