With this earth science lesson, students will learn about deforestation. Why is it being done, and the impact it has on the Earth. There is an article to read and a graphic organizer to fill out. There are also questions and a video suggestion for after reading, posters to stimulate discussion, and suggestions for even more follow-up. This would make for a great sub-plan.
