Thursday 1. Guyana, Suriname, and
French Guiana 2. Three of the following:

Friday 1. Antarctica 2. yes; Hundreds of different
kinds of trees, vines, and other plants provide homes to thousands of different kinds of animals such as bats, frogs, leopards, parrots, and snakes.
ChallengeAnswers will vary. Students should color the area of the Amazon Rainforest and write two facts about the forest that they learned from the class discussion or from resource books.
Skill: Ecosystems Essential Element 3: Standard 8
The Amazon RainforestIntroducing the Map
Define an ecosystem for students. Talk about different ecosystems in the world such as grasslands, deserts, and polar regions. Another ecosystem that students will be familiar with is the tropical rainforests. Instruct students that tropical rainforests are warm, wet environments near or at the equator. Tell students the most famous rainforest in the world is the Amazon Rainforest.
Show students the map of South America. Give students the following background information on the Amazon Rainforest as they look at the map.
The Amazon Rainforest covers much of northern South America. About two-thirds of it lies in Brazil. The forest also is in parts of Bolivia, Peru, Ecuador, Colombia, and Venezuela. The Amazon Rainforest receives an average rainfall of 50 to 175 inches (125 to 445 cm). Temperatures average about 80°F (27°C).
The forest contains a wide variety of plants and animals. There are hundreds of varieties of trees. Trees grow close together, so they fight for the light they need to grow. The trees grow very tall, and the upper branches spread out over a wide area. The canopy is so thick with branches and vines that very little sunshine gets through to the forest floor. Between the canopy and floor is a layer called the understory. This area grows layers of shrubs and small trees.
Many animals live at each layer of the rainforest. Frogs, snakes, toucans, parrots, flying squirrels, leopards, bats, and monkeys are just a few of the animals that make their home in the rainforest.
You may wish to extend the lesson by discussing the preservation of the rainforest’s natural resources. About 10 percent has been destroyed. Reasons for the destruction include loggers cutting down trees, and ranchers and farmers clearing land for grazing cattle and growing crops.

ecosystem a community of animals and plants interacting with their environment
