WHAT PRIOR KNOWLEDGE IS NEEDED?
Student prior knowledge of the rainforest biome is great, but students can certainly learn a lot from these Boom Cards, even if they do not know all the answers.
If you also need a lesson to go with these Boom Cards, I have an Rainforest Biome Lesson that is perfect for these cards! Most of the answers to the questions in the Boom Cards appear in the presentation.
The Rainforest Biome Lesson was created as a library lesson, but it also works well in science classrooms. It includes an editable presentation, two differentiated scavenger hunt activities, free video links, reading recommendations, and a standards-aligned lesson plan.
