World Rainforest Day - 22nd June
This day founded by the Rainforest Partnership highlights the work of this global movement to protect and restore rainforests.
The activities highlighted here cover those suitable for primary which include:
- looking at the both tropical and temperate rainforest habitats
- studying and classifying the biodiversity
- looking at how human behavior is affecting the rainforest and the creatures that live within it.
In addition there are a series of resources from Science and Plants in Schools looking at plant growth and life cycles. The 'Make a game project' from Barefoot Computing asks pupils to design a rainforest themed game using Scratch.
For secondary pupils there are additional resources looking at useful products from the rainforest and the consequences of changes in a rainforest habitat.
