The Value of Tropical Rainforests

(0)
<p>AQA GCSE Geography lesson for the new specification Unit 1B: In this lesson we look at what valuable commodities and services the rainforest provides.</p> <p>The lesson has a rainforest themed retrieval practice starter. We look at what value the rainforest has to indigenous peoples and why these people may be at threat. Focusing on the Achua tribe we look at a video and complete some guided reading with the students completing some questions relating to the text. We then look at the valuable medicines that come from the rainforest, the students have to complete an annotated ‘rainforest cabinet’ using information from the slide. We then look at essential services. The students read the information on the various services the rainforest provides and rate them according to how important they are and explain why they think this. We finish with a GCSE-style practice question with some guidance and structure provided for the students.</p> <p>Hope this saves you some valuable planning time.</p> <p><a href="https://www.tes.com/teaching-resources/shop/markthegeographer">https://www.tes.com/teaching-resources/shop/markthegeographer</a></p>

Physical Characteristics of Rainforests

<p>AQA GCSE Geography lesson for the new specification Unit 1B: In this lesson we look at what the physical characteristics of tropical rainforests are.</p> <p>The lesson has a retrieval practice starter quiz on rivers to begin with. We then look at what it is like to be in the rainforest with a short video clip of walking through the forest. We then look at the location of tropical rainforests and the students have a map with some questions of differing difficulty to answer. The students are provided with a worksheet to draw a climate graph of the rainforest with some additional skills questions to answer (works well with a visualiser). The students complete an annotated profile of the rainforest latosol soil, describing and explaining its characteristics. We then look at the nutrient cycle and the students annotate a diagram making sure they eliminate the incorrect word from the annotation. We finish with a GCSE-style practice question with some guidance and structure provided for the students.</p> <p>Hope this saves you some valuable planning time.</p> <p><a href="https://www.tes.com/teaching-resources/shop/markthegeographer">https://www.tes.com/teaching-resources/shop/markthegeographer</a></p>

Adaptation and Biodiversity in Rainforests

(1)
<p>AQA GCSE Geography lesson for the new specification Unit 1B: In this lesson we look at what how plants and animals have adapted to the environmental conditions in the rainforest.</p> <p>The lesson has a retrieval practice starter to begin with. We then look at what biodiversity is and why the rainforests are particularly diverse. We then look at rainforest stratification and plant adaptations. The students have a sheet to complete and some information slides to use to complete the sheet. This could be used as a carousel or group work task. The sheet can even be coloured in! Then the students complete a mix and match up task on the most common types of animal adaptations. The students then complete a rating task with explanation as to how significant are threats to biodiversity in the rainforest. We finish with a GCSE-style practice question with some guidance and structure provided for the students.</p> <p>Hope this saves you some valuable planning time.</p> <p><a href="https://www.tes.com/teaching-resources/shop/markthegeographer">https://www.tes.com/teaching-resources/shop/markthegeographer</a></p>

characteristics of the rainforest biome

<p>The tropical rainforest biomes are found close to the equator where low pressure systems create bands of high rainfall and long daylight hours that promote high plant growth. Rainforests are densely packed areas of tall vegeatation high amounts of life and biodiversity. This full KS3 lesson and associated sheets and activities give students a full understanding on the layers of the rainforest ecosystem structure, where they are found, and how to analyse and describe the climate of a rainforest using a climate graph. This lesson was originally designed as part of a year 7 ecosystems topic, but would work equally well for year 8. The main task involves students sketching a copy of a diagram on the layers of the rainforest and annotating it in detail using prompts and gap-fill sentences to help them. They then watch a video and make further independant labels.</p>

<p>This unit is created in line with my personal passion for rainforest sustainability. This unit is framed around the both environmental process and human’s impact on these, and also looks to consistently cross over from physical to human geography and back again.<br /> A conscience effect has also been made to embed dual coding within this SoW, as well as much differentiation and debating.</p> <p>SoW:<br /> L1: What are the causes for the global distribution of Rainforests? (Free download)<br /> L2: What is the Structure of the Rainforest and How Have Animals/Plants Adapted?<br /> L3: How Do Rainforest Provide Both Goods and Services? <br /> L4: Why is there a Range of Risk to the World’s Rainforests?<br /> L5: How the world sustainably manages its rainforests? <br /> L6: Stakeholder Analysis: Who Do the World’s Rainforest Belong to?<br /> L7: Rainforest Extended Writing</p> <p><a href="mailto:thegeographyshoporiginal@gmail.com" target="_blank" rel="nofollow">thegeographyshoporiginal@gmail.com</a></p> <p>Best <strong>FREE</strong> Resources (The Geography Shop)</p> <ul> <li><a href="https://www.tes.com/teaching-resource/-12899088">https://www.tes.com/teaching-resource/-12899088</a> (Climate Change SoW)</li> <li><a href="https://www.tes.com/teaching-resource/-12899440">https://www.tes.com/teaching-resource/-12899440</a> (Development SoW)</li> <li><a href="https://www.tes.com/teaching-resource/-12638984">https://www.tes.com/teaching-resource/-12638984</a> (Waste SoW)</li> <li><a href="https://www.tes.com/teaching-resource/-12451443">https://www.tes.com/teaching-resource/-12451443</a> (Britain Globalisation SoW)</li> <li><a href="https://www.tes.com/teaching-resource/-12741793">https://www.tes.com/teaching-resource/-12741793</a> (Local Area Investigation SoW)</li> <li><a href="https://www.tes.com/teaching-resources/bundler/12949461">https://www.tes.com/teaching-resources/bundler/12949461</a> (Cambridge International)</li> <li><a href="https://www.tes.com/teaching-resource/-12922653">https://www.tes.com/teaching-resource/-12922653</a> (Israel &amp; Palestine)</li> <li><a href="https://www.tes.com/teaching-resource/resource-12485457">https://www.tes.com/teaching-resource/resource-12485457</a> (What is Geography?)</li> </ul> <p>I hope you find this SoW useful.

Rainforest Animals Cootie Catchers/ fortune tellers: These rainforest cootie catchers are a great way for students to have fun while learning about the different types of rainforest animals. These cootie catchers contain the following rainforest Animals: <br /> <br /> ♦ Frog, Toucan, Anaconda, Chameleon, Monkey, Macaw, Piranha, Sloth<br /> <br /> These cootie catchers on rainforest animals come in color and black &amp; white, and also come with a version where students can add their own definitions. All of this totals 6 pages which has students identifying vocabulary terms about rainforest animals (with pictures) based from the definition.
