Using this Rainforest Project Based Learning in your classroom is the perfect way to have your students incorporate reading, writing, science, math, critical thinking, and problem solving skills in a fun, real-life context. In this PBL unit, your kids will love being SURVIVOR KID as they try to survive 5 days and nights in the rainforest! As they work to survive the rainforest, they will need to plan and budget, design a shelter, design a water filtration device, plan for animal and insect encounters, build a compass AND SO MUCH MORE!

Give your students choice! As they work through this PBL, they will have the opportunity to make lots of decisions that will help to personalize their learning! In addition, I have included activities and tasks that are easily differentiated to ensure that all 3rd through 6th grade students have an engaging learning experience. This provides a wealth of scaffolds so that you can differentiate in your classroom and ENGAGE EVERY LEARNER!
