Provide us with fresh oxygen, absorb
carbon dioxide and are home to over ½ of our world’s plants and animals. They are also very important in developing
medicine for cancer and other diseases.
Unfortunately we are losing a lot of rain forests very quickly—about 4,000
football fields worth of rain forests are lost per hour.
Your task is to visit the different rain forest regions
around the world and gather clues to find out which of these products does not
come from the rain forest.
Use the worksheet provided to show your work. You will be graded on answering the problems from
the rain forests and answering the reflection questions on the student worksheet.
Don’t forget to use full sentences when
writing your answers. (Hint: Start in the Amazon Rain Forest, and end in
the Temperate Rain Forest in Alaska, then solve the mystery!...Be careful and
watch out for hanging vines; sometimes they’re really snakes! )
