Part of our amazing ten lesson Rainforest Topic, aimed at Lower KS2. Available on TES as a bundle for £10 or for download as individual lessons Detailed and interesting teaching PPT detailing the different layers of the rainforest: including how their features make them suitable for different animals and the animals which live there. Interesting and fun ‘lift the flap’ book activity for students to add information about each layer of tropical rainforests to. NC objectives: Science: Describe and understand key aspects of physical geography, including: climate zones, biomes and vegetation belts, rivers, mountains, volcanoes and earthquakes, and the water cycle. Y3: explore the requirements of plants for life and growth (air, light, water, nutrients from soil, and room to grow) and how they vary from plant to plant Y3: identify that animals, including humans, need the right types and amount of nutrition, and that they cannot make their own food; they get nutrition from what they eat Y4: recognise that living things can be grouped in a variety of ways

Part of our amazing ten lesson Rainforest Topic, aimed at Lower KS2. Available on TES as a bundle for £10 or for download as individual lessons Clear teaching PPT explaining food chains and modelling a food chain with plants and animals of the rainforests. Engaging food chains activity with two levels of differentiation, students will use their fact files for different animals to work out the food chains in rainforests. Interesting and beautifully presented living things fact files for students to use to support them creating food chains. Whole unit plan. NC objectives: Science Y3: identify that animals, including humans, need the right types and amount of nutrition, and that they cannot make their own food; they get nutrition from what they eat Y4: construct and interpret a variety of food chains, identifying producers, predators and prey

Part of our amazing ten lesson Rainforest Topic, aimed at Lower KS2. Available on TES as a bundle for £10 or for download as individual lessons Detailed PPT discussing the needs of different animals and why the different layers may suit them, using the living things fact files to support learning. Creative and fun main activity with 3 levels of differentiation, students will create their own rainforest animal or plant depending on the layer they live in, some will move on to work out the layer in which a brand new animal lives in, based on their features. Interesting and beautifully presented living things fact files to support students independent learning. Whole unit planning. NC objective: Science Y3: explore the requirements of plants for life and growth (air, light, water, nutrients from soil, and room to grow) and how they vary from plant to plant
