The Amazon Rainforest is in grave danger. Uncontrolled deforestation has leveled huge amounts of the forest, leaving hundreds of animal species and indigenous tribes homeless. Every second, about a hundred yards worth of trees are cut down. To put it into a clearer perspective, imagine a football field full of trees disappearing in the blink of an eye. Our mission is to bring this global catastrophe to you, and keep this endangered beauty from becoming extinct.

We studied the Rainforest in our fifth grade class and also in our Science Club. We also attended the Wet 'n Wild Jason Project held at NASA Ames Research Center. We thought that there would be other fifth graders who would have the same interest as we did about the benefits of learning about the rainforest. We found many sites on the Internet that provided a lot of information in addition to our classroom studies. We tried to give an overview of the main points of why the rainforest is so important and must be saved. We included a POP Quiz and a wordsearch just for fun!

This project was an optional way to do their research project. This project incorporates the 3 "T's" - what some say has replaced the 3 "R's" in education. Those 3 "T's" are Technology, Teamwork and Thinking. In order to be successful in this day and age, students must be adept at all three. The parents of my students, as well as the technology department of my district, are in wholehearted support of these objectives. In addition to the skills the students have learned, the parents of my students also feel that their children have learned very valuable, life-long lessons as well.

The rainforest is a warm and humid ecosystem with many plants and animals. It covers less than seven percent of the world's land surface and is being destroyed for timber and raising domesticated plants and animals. Our goal is to educate people so that they learn about the rainforest's ecosystem and learn that saving it would be beneficial in many ways. We've included general facts and information about the weather/climate, plants, animals, and medicines. We also include information about the destruction and saving of the rainforest, the people who live there and a bibliography section. We present this information in pictures, games, blurbs and short essays. This beautiful place is being destroyed and we want to help people to understand the importance of saving it.

Although we classified our site as "science" and there is much science information on it, we also tell about where rainforests are located and how you can help save them - so our site has a social science side too. What we wanted to do was get KIDS to find out the BASICS of rainforests. Many of the sources we looked at were really hard to understand and we wanted any elementary student to be able to understand our information. Rainforests are so beautiful that we wanted our site to have pretty graphics, so we worked hard on that part too. We hope people learn: * what is a rainforest * what are the types * where they are found * why it's important to save them and what a kid can do to help save them
