Are you ready for an adventure in the jungle? Are you tingling all over when you think about looking at pictures of snakes, spiders and other “yucky” stuff? Well, step into the Ama-Zone! Get yourself and your students ready for an exciting trip through the jungle.

The main goal of this simulation is for students to understand that their actions have an effect on the rain forest and, in turn, the rain forest (products, animals, etc.) has an effect on them. Help your students understand basic scientific concepts about the rain forest, including biodiversity, classification, the interrelationship among species, rain forest products, weather, deforestation, adaptations and the differences between plants and animals.

1. A Rain Forest Overview
2. The Challenge
3. The Culture
4. Biodiversity
5. Medicines and Pharmacy
