Practical Applications
Exploring Animal Habitats
Discovering Nature Around You
You don’t have to go far to find habitats! Even your backyard or local park is full of living things.
What To Look For
- Birds in trees or bushes
- Bugs under rocks or leaves
- Squirrels in grassy areas
- Fish in a pond
Record Your Findings
Draw or write about what you see. What do these animals eat? Where do they sleep?
Why It Matters
Exploring habitats helps you learn how animals and plants live together and why it’s important to protect their homes.
Examples
Finding a bird’s nest in a tree at the playground.
Watching ants build tunnels in the dirt.
