Topic 1 of 4
Living Things and Their Habitats
How it’s taught in school
Students learn to differentiate between things that are living, dead, and never alive. They explore how animals and plants depend on their habitats, identify various plants and animals in different habitats, and understand simple food chains.
Try it at home
- Go on a nature walk to identify plants and animals in different habitats and discuss what each one needs to survive.
- Create a chart of living, dead, and never-alive things found at home or in the garden.
- Build a simple food chain using pictures or drawings, like 'sun → plant → rabbit → fox,' and talk about who eats what.
