What is Deforestation? The Kids’ Version

Deforestation is the process of cutting down or clearing large areas of forested land. This activity can have a range of adverse effects on the environment, wildlife, and people.

  • Forests are home to a diverse range of plants and animals. When forests are cleared, these creatures lose their homes and may struggle to survive.
  •  Trees absorb carbon dioxide from the atmosphere and release oxygen through photosynthesis. This process is disrupted when forests are cut down, increasing carbon dioxide in the atmosphere. This contributes to climate change.
  • Trees help to hold soil in place and prevent erosion. When forests are cleared, the ground can become loose and wash away during heavy rains, causing problems for farmers and damaging ecosystems.

It’s important to remember that deforestation is a complex issue with many causes and impacts. By providing your students with high-quality science materials in engaging formats, you can help transform them into eco-aware students to make our planet a better place.

What is an Infographic? How Can You Use Them in the Classroom?

An infographic visualises data or information designed to make complex information more understandable and accessible to a broader audience. Infographics typically use a combination of text, images, and graphics to present information clearly and concisely. They can be used to convey complex ideas, statistics, or data sets in a way that is visually appealing and easy to understand.

This printable infographic analysis worksheet pack is the perfect way to introduce your students to alternative reading material. With this resource, students will read and analyse an infographic about the effects of deforestation and apply what they have learned to answer a series of analytical questions about the topic using evidence from the text.
