Introduction
Welcome!! I hope that you enjoyed learning about the forest. Here are some great websites to practice what you just learned. I hope that you enjoy the activities that I have selected for you.
Let's continue to talk about the forest and who lives in it and where they live.
Here are some definitions to keep in mind:
Emergent-This layer is the tallest trees that tower above the forest floor.
--animals-eagles, butterflies, bats
Canopy- the tops of most of the trees in the rain forest form a type of roof
cover over the lower strata. A lot of the sunlight is blocked due to the
intertwining of the leaves and branches.
--animals-snakes, birds.
Under story- the trees that happen to grow under the canopy. Usually these trees
do not grow over 12 feet.
--animals-squirrels , insects, frogs
Forest Floor-The floor is comprised of decaying leaves,
and soil etc.
--animals-deer, bears, rabits
Which of these animals would you expect to find in a forest?
