Unanswered questions . . . can you help?

Here are some things Nichole and I have been wondering about as we work on the lessons to go with this unit—any answers or insights would be much appreciated!

--Why do tropical plants have bigger leaves than the plants in Wisconsin? Or does it just seem that way?

--In the US, it seems that areas of higher elevation are more arid than the lowlands. Is that true in the tropics? Or on other continents?  

--What is the difference between “jungle” and “rainforest”?

More to come, I’m sure : ) –Kris
