Rainforest Water Cycle
Understand how the water cycle works in a rainforest — trees absorb water through their roots and release it through their leaves (transpiration), this moisture forms clouds above the canopy, and the clouds produce rain that falls back into the forest — creating a self-sustaining cycle that generates much of the rainforest's own rainfall

Check understanding
- Describe the sequence: trees absorb water → release it through leaves (transpiration) → moisture rises → clouds form → rain falls
- Explain that rainforests generate much of their own rainfall through this cycle
- Use the word transpiration correctly when describing how water leaves a plant through its leaves
“Can your child explain how rainforest trees help make their own rain — by releasing water from their leaves, which forms clouds, which rain back down on the forest?”
