Misunderstanding Layers
Students often confuse the different layers of a tropical rainforest, such as the emergent layer, canopy, understory, and forest floor.
To fix this, students should create a diagram labeling each layer and its characteristics, focusing on the height, types of plants, and animal life found in each layer.
