We assume that the Rainforest biome got it's name because it rains alot there. But just how much does it rain? Use this link to find out exactly how much rain certain rainforests get. You can even find where we live on the map and see how our locations rain amount compares. I have given you the link for the rainfall comparison of the Amazon Rainforest and the North Eastern Part of the US (which is where we live). Please not the rainfall amount they are using is FEET!! The website has used a child to help show just how much rain falls. What I want you to do is write a comparison using something other than a child. For example I could say "In Buffalo, we get about two baseball bats length worth of rain in a year. The Amazon Rainforest gets about 4 baseball bats length! This task might be easier if you find something in your home to compare it to. You are all about 4 feet tall, which will give you a good estimate. Anything you can find to create a visual is great! Use those math estimation skills and write down your comparison by commenting on this post.
