**LESSON PLAN **

1. Read through the different slides about where are the tropical rainforests.
2. Watch the video and make a few notes in the workbook about the Amazon rainforest - don’t need to write down everything!
3. Complete the climate graph for Manaus in the Amazon Rainforest in Brazil. This is just a line graph and a bar graph - you should have done them in year 8/9. If you havent, then there is help in the PowerPoint and you can use the outline of the graph.
4. Answer the 2 questions using the Climate graph to help you.
5. Think about what happens if we take out something in the rainforest and it ruins the imbalance. Use the boxes on slide 8 to complete the diagram in your workbooklet (or copy out if you can’t print).
6. Linking back to last week - look at the adaptations of plants and animals and assign the right label to the right picture.
7. Watch the video and make notes about the different threats to the Amazon Rainforest.
