Projects involve literature, science facts, art, creative writing, critical thinking, research skills, and math. Topics include: the rainforest, the emergent layer, the canopy, the understory, the forest floor, people of the rainforest, the decomposers, insects, birds, reptiles, and mammals of the rainforest, and many more. Projects include: Make a Mini-Rainforest, Reptile Center, Entomologists in Action, and follow up activities for The Great Kapok Tree, a book by Lynne Cherry.lThere are lots of fun activities, such as rainforest math, rainforest acrostics, a crossword puzzle, and a rainforest riddles game with reproducible, cut & paste illustrations of indigenous flora and fauna. Includes bibliography and answer key. All 48 pages perforated for easy removal.
