BOOM!

And ta-dah!

Here we are!



















Let Teacher Pei Pei give you a little introduction about the Amazonia forest.

This rainforest has extremely poor soil quality. Therefore, as plants die, their parts are quickly decomposed and the next generation of plants recycles the nutrients they contained. Without this process, the soil is too poor to support sustained plant growth.

There are many plants and animals hiding in the rainforest. Some examples are:

Plants: Fern, Brazil Nut, Banana, Palm trees (many varieties), Coffee, Kapok, Cocoa, Orchid, Vanilla, Passion flower, Cashew, Mahogany, Rubber Fungus







































Animals: Anaconda, Ant, Anteater, Beetle, Boa constrictor, Pit viper, Butterfly, Cockroach, Electric eel, Catfish, Frog, Pink dolphin, Grasshopper, Monkeys (many varieties), Jaguar, Puma, Parrot, Crow, Mosquito, Bot fly, Parrot, Tarantula, Bat, Termite








































NOW, Your Task!

1. Research on the organisms living in the Amazon rainforest from the list above.
2. Create a food web to show the interrelationship among them.
3. Post your food web on our class wiki-page.
4. Comment on one of your classmates' food web.

Okay! Back to Urban Life in Singapore!
