Describe a Habitat: Rainforest

Overview:

A worksheet designed to help upper years students describe a rainforest habitat and analyse how an animal’s features support its survival in this environment. Designed for upper years students.

Learning Objectives:

• Understand the key characteristics of a rainforest habitat.
• Explore the relationship between an animal’s features and its environment.
• Develop skills in observation, description, and drawing to represent survival adaptations.

How the Activity Works:

Students begin by describing the rainforest habitat, focusing on its layers, climate, and rich biodiversity. Next, they choose an animal that lives in a rainforest habitat and explain how its physical and behavioural features help it survive. Students then draw and label the chosen animal, highlighting its survival adaptations. Finally, they reflect on how the rainforest habitat supports the animal’s needs for food, shelter, and safety.
