Rainforests

Next term we will be reading a book by Helen Cowcher about animals in a rainforest. 

We will also be studying the animals that live there and their habitats in our topic and science lessons. 

Tell me everything you already know about rainforests. Try to group your ideas into categories such as: climate. geography, plants, animals, insects and so on.

Then post a few questions that you would like answered about rainforests.

  3. The Amazon rainforest is one of the biggest rainforests in the world. Also, most of the Amazon rainforest is in Brazil - about 30%. In the Amazon is one of the biggest rivers in the world. Rainforests have different layers like the canopy, the emergent, the understory and the forest floor. On the ground is where the most wonderful animals live like tapirs, anteaters, jaguars, panthers, snakes and poisonous spiders. Deadly snakes are bound to be predators, some times they will also injure some innocent animals because they are hungry. The types of flying creatures are, blue Morfo butterflies, toucans, howler monkeys, sloths and parrots. The howler monkey is very helpful to all the other animals. They search for predators and howl when they're in danger or see another animal in danger.

  4. Rainforest deforestation is a big problem because in 2016, there was only 3,322,700 estimated square kilometers of the Amazon Rainforest left after people cutting for 46 years at it. Most of the animals are endangered species, but at least 2000 species of plants in the forests have anti-cancer properties. It also supplies a fifth of our water and keeps the weather temperatures in check. They are really good for our health because they take in carbon dioxide that we release, (a greenhouse gas) and it releases oxygen that everyone needs.

  8. Rainforests Consists of 1800 animals.Rainforests like the Amazonia rainforest,is getting cut down, because people in big groups cut the trees down, and that wood that they use to make houses and money.If try to domesticate, a animal it will never be fully tamed because they will still have memory of living in the wild.Animals see the world different to humans,such as wild dogs sometimes see the world in shades of yellow or in black and white.
