What is a habitat?
What this chapter teaches
A habitat is the place where a living thing finds food, water and shelter. It can be big, like a forest, or small, like a log. A desert is a habitat full of life.
Three questions to ask
There is no one right wording. Listen for the idea.
- What does a woodlouse find under a stone that it needs?
- Why is a desert not empty of life?
- Which habitat near you could you describe, and what lives there?
After the chapter, the learner can
- Name habitats such as ponds, forests, grasslands, deserts and seas
- Describe how a habitat gives food, water and shelter
