Temperate Deciduous Forests

Start with climate

The mind map on temperate deciduous forest climate is a starting point for this collection. Its branches include rainfall and temperature range, giving school students a way to organize the climate information before moving to a particular woodland.

As you study the map, look at how its climate details are grouped. You can return to those branches after working through a case study and check which points you remember.

Explore the woodland case studies

After the climate map, a next step is New Forest Temperate Deciduous Woodland. It describes the New Forest’s location in southern England. The map The New Forest - Temperate deciduous woodland case study also organizes information around location, timber, recreation and conservation.

For another example, Epping Forest includes its location, woodland and other land, along with early uses. Comparing the headings in the New Forest and Epping Forest maps can help students organize their notes around the details each resource provides.

Use flashcards and questions

The Temperate Deciduous Woodland Case Study flashcards ask about Epping Forest’s location, protection, uses and activities. They are a follow-up to the mind map: students can study the map, then use the questions to check what they recall.

There are no quizzes listed on this page. A free account lets you make your own quizzes, mind maps, flashcards and notes, and saves your quiz scores. A quiz based on a map’s branches can provide another way to practice the information.

Place the topic in the unit

Temperate Deciduous Forests is a section of the wider Geography unit. The climate map and woodland case studies offer starting points within this section, while the flashcards provide questions on one of its examples. Choose a map and follow it with the Epping Forest flashcards.
