Hello, and welcome to Gina and Kates wikispace. This is a webquest created for year 5 students based on Rainforest's where students are to complete the tasks required in a collaborative, fun and interactive way.

Tasks is where there will be an outline of the activities Processes is where the students will spend the most time on. This is where the resources for all task activities will be and an extended information for each lesson will be present.

This wikipage assignment requires us to create enough activities/ projects for the students to cover over three 45 minute lessons, as well as some extra at home. However, there are many ways this can be expanded to make it an interactive unit of work for your class.

Welcome to rainforests! Today we will be talking about the rain forests in the world. Outcome: Demonstrates an understanding of the interconnectedness between Australia and global environments and how individuals and groups can act in an ecologically responsible manner.
