Have you ever heard the saying "missing the forest for the trees"? There is a lot more to a forest than just trees. Forests have an abundance of other living things, as you read in the poem on page 23 of your textbook.
Write a report about life in the forest. You will research the living and non-living things found in redwood forests. Here are some questions to guide your research:
What plants and animals live in the forest?
What are some non-living things found in forests?
How do redwood trees interact with other plants and animals in the forest?
How do trees get water in rainless summers?
Are you ready? Begin by visiting the Web sites listed in Step 2. Look for answers to the questions above, and write down what you learned in the note-taking boxes.
You may use search engines to research other Web sites. You can also research forests at the library. When you are ready, follow Steps 3 and 4 to write your report.
