Tropical Rainforests: Research Links For Students
This page contains links to a series of web pages that support online studyof rainforests. Gander Academy's What Are Tropical rainforests?
http://www.stemnet.nf.ca/CITE/rainforest_what.htm

Extractions: ropical rainforests are complex ecosystems, which are made up of four distinct environments. These "sub-ecosystems" are referred to as levels. In each level, animals and plants haveadapted to the existing environmental conditions. The different levels are: the emergent level, the canopy, the understory, and forest floor. The tropical forests occur near the equator where temperature and light levels remain similar all year. Where the rainfall is also spread evenly throughout the year, tropical rainforests occur; where precipitation levels vary and there is a pronounced dry season, tropical moist forests grow, and in areas with less moisture are dry forests and savannas.

GORP - A Walk In The Treetops - A Bird's-eye View Of Kakum National Park
A trip through one of the most diverse rainforests observing the wildlife, local culture and natural formations.
http://www.gorp.com/gorp/publishers/Consintl/Gha_kak.htm

Extractions: Conservation International The long-tailed Verreaux's Touraco floats down from the sky. From your vantage point on the canopy walkway, you see a brilliant flash of red on the wings of this magnificent bird as it lands a few feet away to settle on a Kuntan tree, one of the tallest trees in the forest canopy. This is something you'd never see from the forest floor. Located in Kakum National Park in the West African country of Ghana , Africa's only canopy walkway is suspended 100 feet above the ground, offering you what is truly a bird's eye view of the rainforest. At this height, you don't have to be an expert to identify the colorful patterns of tropical birds as they glide through the forest below you. "The slight swaying is intimidating, but it's an incredible sensation to walk along it. The experience is pure adrenaline, and is definitely not for people with a fear of heights," said Mari Omland, project manager of the Ghana program at Conservation International. Despite its scary appearance, expert designers and climbers were consulted throughout all the phases of its construction, to ensure that the walkway was safely built and able to meet world-class safety standards.

Extractions: Tropical Rainforests Theme Page This "Theme Page" has links to two types of resources related to the study of Tropical Rainforests. Students and teachers will find curricular resources (information, content...) to help them learn about this topic. In addition, there are also links to instructional materials (lesson plans) which will help teachers provide instruction in this theme. Please read our Animal Awareness A lesson plan designed for intermediate to junior high students. Students research a rainforest animal and present a report to classmates. Animals of the Tropical Rainforest In this webquest activity, primary students have the task of finding out more about 5 animals from the rainforest, drawing one of the animals, finding and taping animal sounds, and learning more on what can be done to protect the rainforest. Biome Investigation Using picture/graphical resources on the Internet as starting points, intermediate students investigate the six biomes of the world in this lesson plan. Two specific objectives are to describe the major factors that shape biomes and to represent the connections between the factors that determine biome development and plant and animal life. Chocolate Fun A lesson plan that has students make hot chocolate with different brands and test the pH levels. Information and links are to resources about the rainforest cacao plant.

Loving Light Amazon Lodge

http://www.junglelodge.com/

Extractions: Requires Real Player G2 - click here for free download! Welcome to the Loving Light Amazon Lodge! Opened in 1998, it is one of the newest and most spacious lodges within the Peruvian rainforest. The Loving Light Amazon Lodge offers spectacular, untamed jungle which you can freely explore under the guidance of our multilingual naturalist escorts. Located on the Yanayacu River, a tributary of the upper Amazon River, approximately 100 kilometers southwest of the town of Iquitos (1000 kilometers northeast of Lima), the Loving Light Amazon Lodge is a perfect blend between total wilderness experience and personal safety and comfort. The last human settlement on the upper Yanayacu River, Loving Light Amazon Lodge is surrounded by an exotic jungle alive with monkeys, tapir, boars, iguana, fish, alligators, and birds of every imaginable color and song. After a day of exploration, you can retire to your private thatched-roof hut with comfortable beds, shower, flush toilet, basin, and kerosene lighting. There is no electricity, only the glow of the moon, stars, and fireflies which seemingly pulsate to the music of the jungle night life. And in the morning you awaken to the beautiful chorus of a thousands birds, each singing their own unique song. If you've never meditated before, these birds will take you there. Mosquito netting surrounds all structures including private huts, welcome bar, dining room, kitchen, hammock room, and the shaman ceremony cottage so as to provide you with pest-free relaxation. Some of the lodge activities include fishing (piranha, tuna, bass, catfish), jungle trekking, canoeing, down river village exploration, bird watching, alligator gazing, shaman ceremonies, ethnobotany, and swimming with the pink river dolphins.

Extractions: " S o finally I began to scream at him. 'What the hell are you doing here anyway? Why don't you go home to Oklahoma, see some good doctors, eat some good food, get fixed up?' He gazed at me tranquilly out of his rheumy washed-out blue eyes and sat there dressed like the last of the beachcombers with that disgraceful house crumbling and tilting around him. God, the whole thing was just unbelievable. 'What are you doing here for God's sake?' I yelled into his deaf old ears, leaning right up into his face so that he would have to hear me. 'Why are you here anyway?' And now hearing me he smiled a secret and superior smile, as though he knew something that I didn't, and croaked out in an old voice that was equal parts W.C. Fields and Edward G. Robinson, 'It's the lure of the tropics, boy; it's the lure of the tropics.'" (Moritz Thomsen, The Farm on the River Emeralds
