  25. Science KS2 AT Life and Living Things They recognise that there is a great variety of living things and understand the importance of classification. They explain that different organisms are found in different habitats because of differences in environmental factors [for example, the availability of light or water]. Materials and their Properties the part played by evaporation and condensation in the water cycle

  27. Identify Rainforest Structure

  28. Structure of a Rainforest

  34. Rainforests and Climate Change • Deforestation leads to: • Reduction of emission of oxygen • Reduction of absorption of carbon dioxide • Increase of carbon dioxide in atmosphere • Increase in global temperatures • Melting ice caps and glaciers • Rising sea levels – flooding of coastal areas • More violent storms and hurricanes
