Rainforest Chain

In this reading comprehension activity, students explore cause-and-effect relationships through a passage on deforestation in the Amazon rainforest. Learners read about how tree removal impacts animal habitats, carbon dioxide levels, and climate change, then fill in a graphic organizer showing causes and their resulting effects. This hands-on structure helps students organize information logically and understand environmental connections. The worksheet strengthens both reading comprehension and science literacy through informational text analysis.
