Hi Weka Class,

Using the facts that we learnt today about plants, can you find out
which area in World has the widest variety of plant types?

Why do you think this is?

Share any other interesting facts that you find.

Good Luck,

Mr Douglas and Mr Salter.

    I think that the rain forrest has the most variety of plant types because the rain forrest doesn't have any farm animals which destroy the plants.

    Rain forrests are imporant to the global ecosystem because they provide a home to many plants and animals.

  3. Hi weka class

    I found out that the Amazon jungle has the biggest variety of plants. The Amazon jungle is located in South America. An interesting fact that I found is that every acre of jungle has 300 to 400 plants.

    see you tomorrow!

  4. Hi Weka
    I think the rainfroest would probaly be the place with the most plants. Because it has sun, rain, and good soil to help it grow. A fact about plants that I found out was: more than two thirds of the world's plant species are found in the tropical rainforests. Mr Salter taught us about the different parts of plants/flowers and the type of environment plants need.
