PLANT your feet

Did you know that over 2/3 of all the plants in the world are found in rain forests?  There are plants that grow in every layer of the rainforest.  Many are even large enough to be in more than one layer at a time!



Use the sites below to learn more about plants in the rainforest and how they live.  We have talked about how plants get their food.  How does this work in the rain forest?


In the program below, you are going to design a plant and label what parts of it help it survive in the rainforest.  You can make either a plant you have read about or invent your own.  Save your drawing and post it into your scrapbook. 


TIP: Make sure that you label how it will get/make it's food. This is the most important, but also think about how it defends itself from predators.
