You must also make each question about a different rainforest animal. Ask her to make a copy of it to share with the other kids in your class. As a group, write your own slogan for saving the rainforest and then make a poster using markers and tempera paint. Include your slogan and pictures of animals and plants in the rainforest. Ask your teacher if you can take a picture of it and send it in to your local newspaper to be published.
Scientists sometimes compare the rainforest to a giant sponge that soaks up water from heavy rains.
As the rainforest slowly releases water, people living hundreds of miles away receive a constant supply. Do an experiment to see how rainforests play a vital role in controlling the flow of water on earth. Your teacher will give you all of the materials. Put equal mounds of dry soil in each of two pie pans Place a sponge securely on top of one mound of soil. Slowly pour water from a measuring cup onto the sponge until the sponge is completely soaked and the soil is partly wet too.
