A Sneak Peak at
Rainforests!
A webquest for 5th
graders
Designed by Ms. Hatch
Introduction:
Hello 5th graders! Welcome to the
Rainforest! You have just finished creating terrariums and
aquariums and are starting to discover how complex our world really
is! Now you can explore a new ecosystem. The rainforest is an
incredible and beautiful place. You will find that there are two types
of rainforests, tropical and temperate. They are home to millions
of species of
plants and animals. There is much to explore in the rainforest. Take
some time to learn about it and appreciate all it has to offer.
Unfortunately, the rainforest is also in danger. Find out what is
happening to the rainforest and what you can do to help protect it.
When you have completed this webquest, you should have a better
understanding and appreciation of the rainforest and have some
knowledge about the people, animals, and plants that call it their
home. You should then be eager to share what you have learned with
others. Have fun with this!!
