Begin the lesson by introducing the concept of temperate rainforests. Discuss the key characteristics such as tall trees, abundant rainfall, and diverse plant life.

Engage students with a question: 'What do you think lives in a temperate rainforest?' Encourage them to think about the types of animals and plants they might find.

Explain how the changing seasons affect the trees in a temperate rainforest, including the process of leaves changing color and falling.

Introduce the video 'Temperate Forest Ecosystems' to provide a visual understanding of the diverse plant and animal life in these forests.

Watch the video 'Understanding Forest Ecosystems' to explore the ecological importance of temperate rainforests and their role in biodiversity.

Discuss with students how temperate rainforests provide resources and shelter for various animals, using examples from the video.

Have students create a diorama of a temperate rainforest, including trees, plants, and animals they have learned about.

Use the assessment 'What Lives in a Temperate Forest?' to help students identify and describe the elements of the ecosystem.

Ask students to write a short paragraph about how a specific animal in the temperate rainforest adapts to seasonal changes.

Conduct a class discussion to review the key characteristics of temperate rainforests and the animals that inhabit them.

Have students share their dioramas and paragraphs with the class, discussing what they learned about temperate rainforests.

Use the 'Review – Habitats' assessment to evaluate students' understanding of temperate rainforests and other habitats.

Encourage students to explore more about different habitats by watching the 'Habitats' video, which covers a variety of ecosystems.
