In the Classroom

Include this site with resources for your unit on biomes. Share with students as an introduction to the two types of rainforest biomes, then have them research further information. Be sure to check out TeachersFirst interactive Biomes of the World Unit. This is an online research project for elementary and middle school students. Have students create an annotated image including text boxes and related links using a tool such as Image Annotator, reviewed here, to demonstrate different components within the rainforest.
