Webquest On Animals Of The Rainforest
rainforests provide us with oxygen, help maintain our climate, and give us essentialfoods and medicines. PBS Science In The Rainforest. Vanishing rainforests.
http://www.plainfield.k12.in.us/hschool/webq/webq3/rain.htm

Extractions: ANIMALS OF THE TROPICAL RAINFOREST R ainforests provide us with oxygen, help maintain our climate, and give us essential foods and medicines. Rainforests have intense tropical sunlight, high temperatures, and almost constant rainfall. 7% of the world is covered in rainforest. More than 50% of the world's plant and animal species inhabit rainforest areas. Dozens of animal species a day become extinct. TASK ONE The Indianapolis Zoo would like to expand their rainforest exhibit and need to learn more about animals who live in the rainforest. Your group will be scientists from the Indianapolis Zoo and go to one of the large rainforests in South America, Africa, or Southeast Asia. Pick 5 birds, mammals, amphibians, or insects to learn more about. Here is some information to look for: 1. Common and scientific name of animal. 2. Which rainforest does the animal live in? 3. Describe the animals' habitat. 4. What does the animal eat? 5. Find descriptive details or pictures of the animal. 6. Is the animal an endangered species?
Rainforest: About
ABOUT rainforests Is the Amazon a jungle or a rainforest? Where are the rainforestsof the world? Where are the rainforests in South Central America?
http://www.ladatco.com/rf-abt.htm

Extractions: soon covers the gap created by the disturbance. Another explanation: A tropical rainforest has more kinds of trees and other plant life than any other area of the world. Most trees in the tropical rainforest are broad leaf trees that grow closely together. The tallest trees may grow as tall as 200 feet. The tops, called crowns, form a covering of leaves about 100-150 feet above the ground. This cover is called the upper canopy. The crowns of the smaller trees form one or two lower canopies. These canopies share the forest floor so that it receives less than one percent as much sunlight as does the upper canopy. As a result, only ferns and other plants requiring little sunlight grown on the forest floor. This makes it possible for a person to easily walk through most parts of a tropical rainforest.
