The Tropical Rain Forest Kits for K-12 Teachers at the Missouri Botanical Gardens (MOBOT)
MOBOT’s Educational Division has developed kits for grades 2-8 that teachers may borrow and use in their classrooms. Each kit contains numerous lesson folders, materials lists, additional resources, illustrated displays and reading materials for the students that help with learning about rain forest ecology, products, deforestation, and the importance of biodiversity. MCLUS provided the funding for these kits at MOBOT.
