Rainforest Animal Adaptations Lesson

(1)
This lesson teaches students about the wide range of plant and animal adaptations that exist within rainforests. A wide range of examples are covered with specific detailed information on each one. There is a heavy emphasis on peer and self assessment throughout the lesson. The lesson can be split into two halves, with the first half focusing on plant adaptations and the second half focusing on animal adaptations. I used this with a wide range of abilities in year 8.

First, the presentation introduces students to the different layers of the rainforest and some of the animals that live in each layer. Students then complete a range of activities: Activity 1: In pairs, students match the layers of a tropical rainforest to descriptions. Easier - Students have multicoloured descriptions. They match each layer to one green, blue and purple description. Harder - Students have plain black descriptions. They match each layer to three other descriptions. Activity 2: Students identify and label the four layers of a tropical rainforest. Easier - Students write one word for each layer. Harder - Students write two words for each layer. Extension: Students cut out pictures of tropical rainforest animals and stick them in the layer in which they live. If you like this resource, we would appreciate a review!

Exploring the Amazon rainforest - KS2

This resource is part of Tropical Rainforests, a Geography unit designed for students in KS2, but can also be taught as a stand alone lesson. All resources are compatible with both Microsoft Office and Google Workspace. This lesson is a great introduction to the world’s largest rainforest, the Amazon. First, the presentation introduces students to the Amazon and its incredibly biodiverse flora and fauna. It then goes on to look at the geography of the Amazon in more detail, specifically its location within the continent of South America. The activity challenges students to identify a range of human and physical geographical features within South America, including the nine countries in which the Amazon rainforest is located. In follow up extension activities, students identify the capitals of those countries and then complete a cloze-procedure paragraph about the Amazon.

This unit is created in line with my personal passion for rainforest sustainability. This unit is framed around the both environmental process and human’s impact on these, and also looks to consistently cross over from physical to human geography and back again. A conscience effect has also been made to embed dual coding within this SoW, as well as much differentiation and debating. SoW: L1: What are the causes for the global distribution of Rainforests? (Free download) L2: What is the Structure of the Rainforest and How Have Animals/Plants Adapted? L3: How Do Rainforest Provide Both Goods and Services?  L4: Why is there a Range of Risk to the World’s Rainforests? L5: How the world sustainably manages its rainforests?  L6: Stakeholder Analysis: Who Do the World’s Rainforest Belong to?

I created this flipchart to use with my year 5 class. It introduces children to where in the world rainforests are found and then proceeds to identifying the layers of the forest itself. It then looks at the indigenous people who still live their lives within the forests

'Who lives here?' PowerPoint introduces a 'conversation' poem about the creatures and habitat of the rainforest. It provides a structured step by step lesson to support composition. It also allows reinforcement of parts of speech particularly verbs and prepositions. Extended poetry task also provided for variety and possible differentiation. Several verse examples are provided for clarity. Rainforest booklet is provided for children to write their final draft for display or poetry portfolio. 'Rainforest List Poem' PowerPoint continues with a poetic theme and uses a simple format to motivate composition. This clear, concise and colourful presentation leads the learners step by step through the composition of a list poem based on a 'rainforest' theme. There is a grammar element throughout with an emphasis on nouns, adjectives and 'ing' verbs. I have found a poetry context an effective way to embed incidental grammar teaching. Although the outcome is a simple list poem, it can easily be differentiated for older learners. This would involve extending each line using e.g. adverbs or an additional clause. Children are encouraged to compose an opening line, closing line and' list' lines inbetween.
