This is the 1st lesson in a series of 4 covering the rainforest. As a class, we research the abiotic and biotic factors of the whole rainforest. Students jigsaw and research the abiotic and biotic factors in one of the four layers of the rainforest. Students create a Prezi about the layer they researched.
