How Do You Graph The Four Layers Of The Rain Forest?
This lesson will help teach children how to identify the four layers of the rain forest by drawing them on paper. They will draw the four layers of the rain forest and label them with the appropriate name. On each layer of the rain forest the children will draw plants and animals that live in that layer. If the child does not draw well they can use a ruler to draw lines and to label the layers neatly so they can identify the key elements. With a ruler and pencil, divide the paper horizontally into four sections that represent the four layers of the rain forest. Write the names of the layers on each section. Label the first layer at the bottom the “Forest Floor,” the second the “Under Story Layer,” the third the “Canopy Layer” and fourth at the very top of the paper the “Emergent Layer.” Use a good elementary book on the rain forest to get the information needed for the lesson. Instruct students to write information about each layer and the plants and animals they will draw and label. H
