This study isn't completely done, but I'm posting it anyway since I probably won't finish planning it. Map of SA to color I had a hard time finding coloring pages of the animals, so I'm just going to buy a rainforest coloring book. Anaconda Piranha Peccary Sloths Parrot Macaw - coloring page Jaguar Science Terrariums Terrariums are easy to make from plastic soda or water bottles. Have everyone bring a bottle with the label off. Cut bottle in half. Put pebbles and potting soil in the bottom half. Plant some small plants and water it sparingly. Use the top half with the cap on as the lid. Cut 4 1" places on the cut edge of the lid so as to allow it to fit over the bottom planted part. The plants will then water themselves from condensation on the inside of the bottle. They last a long time without care. You add a ceramic rainforest animal. learn about rainforest products - sugar, coffee, etc go in the bathroom and run the shower on hot....sit in the steam for a few minutes, to get the feel of the rainforest. learn about the 4 levels: The emergent level is the top level of the rainforest. The canopy is the next layer where monkeys, apes and exotic plants live. The canopy is like living under a big green umbrella. The understory is the next layer. It is the home of bats, frogs, butterflies and many other animals. Finally is the forest floor. It's dark on the rainforest floor because the trees keep most of the light out. water cycle Math find or draw a snake pattern on different colors of paper. You can also laminate the pieces so that you can use a dry erase marker and change the letters to spell new words, instead of making all new pieces. This pattern can be used to review just about anything you happen to be studying. Children will love this activity because they can get down on the floor and move around while making a great big snake.You can also use this snake for anything that your child is studying that has an order such as numbers, letters, books of the Bible, counting by certain numbers, alphabetizing, etc. Crafts Rainforest Mural As a class activity, the children will be dipping their palms in green paint to make palm prints covering several large sheets of paper. Once dry, these will serve as a background for your class rainforest. As you learn about the rainforest add food, plants, and animals to your mural. Snake Sock white tube sock markers craft eyes super glue red felt (approx 3" x 1") Allow
the child to decorate the white tube sock snake with the markers.
Supervise the child as they cut a snake tongue from the red felt.
Super
glue craft eyes to "top" of toe end of snake. Super glue tongue where
the sock will naturally fit in the child's hand (think puppet).
Play. Make
binoculars with toilet paper rolls - decorate, punch holes in, and tie
together with yarn. Tape up pictures of animals/birds, and go
for
a walk, looking for animals in the rainforest. Parrot craft Sloth craft rain forest mobile Food/Cooking Buy different food found in the rainforest: bananas, star fruit, coconut, chocolate, papaya, papaya, bananas, mangos, etc. Misc. Tribal Faces Get a book on indigenous people of the rainforest and face paint the children to look like the tribal people. Then string beads for tribal necklaces. Have students cut out animals and glue them in the proper layer. go on a smell hunt with food items from the rainforest Do 1,2,3,4,5 Fish nursery rhyme.
