Do you know the difference between a tropical rainforest and a temperate rainforest? This site takes you deep into the rainforest with a wide array of topics: plants and animals of the rainforest, rainforests endangered, where rainforests are located, and many others. This rainforest site is also a web resource for the TeachersFirst interactive Biomes of the World Unit for grades 4-8.

In the Classroom

Take your class deep into the rainforest as you explore these topics. Assign cooperative learning groups specific topics to investigate at the site. Have the groups create multimedia presentations. Challenge groups to create a podcast using a site such as PodOmatic (reviewed here) or a video (infomercial) using a site such as Teachers.TV reviewed here.
