Rainforest Lesson 3: Destruction
by Mandy Heal
This is the 3rd lesson in a series of 4. Students will discuss a slow reveal graph about the amount of forest destroyed each year. Students compare two graphs and decide which is better at communicating the amount destroyed each year. Students look at circle graphs to analyze different reasons why the rainforest is being destroyed. Students will watch two videos about why the rainforest is being cut down. Finally, students will create a poster explaining one of the reasons why the rainforest is being destroyed. Links to all lessons in the series along with a variety of resources are included!
