- Summary:
-
Tropical forests provide the world with many products and an incredible diversity of plant and animal life. These forests also provide watershed areas, soil control, climate regulation, and winter homes for migrating birds from North America. It is believed that about 40% of tropical forests have already been destroyed in the last 20-30 years, prompted by social and economic pressures. To curtail this trend, attitudinal and institutional changes in the industrialized nations of the world must be made to preserve the economic and environmental security of the world. Education can create an awareness of this issue from which decisions can be formulated and appropriate actions taken. This document contains six activities for intermediate and middle school students including: (1)"Tropical Pursuit"; (2) "Tropical is Topical"; (3) "Follow the Yellow Brick Road"; (4) "Monkey See, Monkey Do"; (5) "A Tropical Tail"; and (6) "May the Forests be With You." Each activity provides a brief description, a concept statement, objectives, background information, a list of relevant subject areas and skills, a list of materials, and the procedures used to conduct the activity.
