A Knowledge Organiser that captures the essential knowledge and skills learnt throughout the unit Geography, Year 4, Why are rainforests important to us?
This resource is designed to support pupils as they explore the significance of rainforests, particularly the Amazon, and the global impact of human activity on these ecosystems. It introduces essential vocabulary such as biome, deforestation, canopy, global warming, and logging, and explains how plants have adapted to survive in the rainforest environment. Pupils learn about the different layers of the rainforest, from the forest floor to the emergent layer, and examine the effects of threats such as mining and tree felling. The unit helps pupils develop an understanding of environmental interdependence and the importance of sustainable practices.
