Science - Habitats

A habitat is a special place where a planto r animal lives. Just like YOU have a home or a place to live, so do animals and plants.

When we talk about an animal’s or plant’s home it is more like a neighbourhood than a “house”. An animal needs five things to survive in its habitat:

- Food

- Water

- A shelter

- Air

- A place to raise its young

Just like you have to go to a store to get food, an animal leaves its “shelter” to get the things they need to live.

All the animals need different habitats.

- A fish for example, needs clean water in which to live.

- A grasshopper however needs a big space where it can hop.

Let's watch some videos about habitats...
