Rainforest - Week 3




Started this week out with some individual reading and sketching.   

"Rain"forest questions

How is rain formed?

Making it rain.
 We learned about: 
EVAPORATION, CONDENSATION, and PRECIPITATION 



 How often does it rain in the rainforest?
  Watching a video and learning how often it rains.


Rainforest in a bottle



  A finished rainforest terrarium.


What animals live in the rainforest?  
Where do the animals live in the rainforest?
 




 This on going project is now on it's third week.  Starting with a visit to the zoo, the children were finally able to print out the photos that they have been working on.  Today they worked on placing the animals in the area of the rainforest where they lived.  I have a feeling they are going to want to continue with other animals that belong in the rainforest that were not at the zoo.  But, we will see.
