Worksheet Overview

Hey, do you want to be an explorer?

Learning about different animals and plants is a great way to learn more about the world!

 

Different animals and plants are all around us and help humans in many ways.

 

Plants like oak trees or apple trees give us clean air to breathe and yummy apples to eat!

Animals like worms keep the soil healthy, so we can grow vegetables, and sparrows eat the cheeky bugs that try to eat our growing fruits and vegetables!

Nature works together and in this activity we are going to look at different animals and plants and where they live.

 

Look at this picture below. How many amazing animals and plants can you see here?

They all have a different job and live in a different, special place that works for them - even the ones underground! (Did you spot that mole sleeping?)

 

Some animals live by water, near a pond or the seashore:

Some animals live in woodland, high in the trees, or buried under a log or leaf litter:

And some animals live far out into the ocean, away from humans:

These are many different animals in different habitats!


Look closely today and think, would I find this animal or plant here?


Let's go, explorer!
