This teacher's resource guide was created to accompany the Amazon Flooded Forest exhibit at the Oregon Zoo. The enclosed lessons and activities are designed to extend into several aspects of daily curriculum including science, math, reading, writing, speaking, and geography. The materials are intended for use in grades 3-6 although most activities can easily be adapted to meet the needs of other classes. Within each thematic section is found age-appropriate information on the flooded forest as well as a variety of activities for use in the classroom. There is also a series of reproducible worksheets complete with instructions incorporated onto each sheet. A guide for chaperones to use with their groups on visits to the zoo is also included.
