Rainforest Animals
雨林动物
Description
Explore animals of the tropical rainforest — the most species-rich habitat on Earth — learning that the forest has layers (canopy, understory, forest floor) with different animals at each level: toucans and monkeys in the canopy, jaguars and frogs on the floor, and that rainforests are found near the equator
Mastery Evidence
- Names at least 4 rainforest animals from different layers
- Describes the rainforest as having layers (canopy, understory, forest floor)
- Explains that rainforests are near the equator and are hot and wet
- Recognises that rainforests have more species than almost any other habitat
Assessment Prompt
If your child watches a documentary about rainforests, can they describe at least three animals that live there and explain that different animals live at different heights in the forest — some in the treetops and some on the ground?
