• Explore the layers of vegetation in a rainforest and identify some of the animals that live there.
• Investigate the climate of the rainforest and be able to describe and compare the rainforest climate with climates in other parts of the world.
• Learn about the people and settlements of the rainforest and be able to describe the way of life of traditional tribespeople.
• Explore why the rainforest is under threat and the measures taken to protect it.  
• Name reasons why rainforests are destroyed and ways in which rainforests can be protected.
• Learn about the journeys of four famous world explorers.
• Map the voyages of the explorers on a world map.
• Identify their motivations, the people whom they met and how they impacted the societies they encountered.
