Science Rainforests Conceptual 7–9 yrs

Tropical Rainforest Climate

热带雨林气候

Description

Understand that rainforests have a tropical climate — consistently hot (25–30°C) with over 2000 mm of rainfall per year — and that this combination of heat and moisture creates ideal conditions for rapid plant growth and extraordinary biodiversity

Mastery Evidence

✓ State that tropical rainforests are hot (25–30°C) and wet (over 2000 mm rain per year) all year round
✓ Explain that the constant heat and moisture create ideal growing conditions for plants
✓ Compare tropical rainforest climate to the UK or local climate, noting key differences in temperature and rainfall

Assessment Prompt

Can your child explain why rainforests grow so well — that it's the combination of being really hot and really rainy all year round that makes everything grow so fast?
