Tropical Rainforests

At the beginning of the unit, we watched this video and noted what we saw and heard,

What is a Rainforest

This is a Mind map Ella created using https://bubbl.us. It shows what she already knew about rainforests before beginning the Webquest and her answers to the following questions:
What is a rainforest?
What are the different types of rainforest?
What are the layers of a rainforest?
Why are rainforests important? (

Australian Rainforests

We then used google maps to find Australian Rainforests. This is a copy of a map that Toby labeled using the website http://mapconnect.ga.gov.au/MapConnect/.

Layers of a Rainforest

There are 4 layers in a rainforest: the Forest Floor, Understorey, Canopy and Emergent Layers. After researching each layer Jake discovered animals and plants that live in each layer.
