Warm-up, learn, try it together, practice, then a quick check. About 15 minutes.
What children learn in Level 57
- Animals are living things too. Every animal needs four things: air, water, food, and shelter.
- Animals breathe air and drink water. A deer drinks from a stream. A whale swims up to breathe!
- Animals can't make their own food like plants do. They eat plants or other animals. A squirrel eats acorns!
- A shelter is a safe place to live. It keeps animals safe from weather and from animals that might eat them.
- Your turn! Sort them. Does an animal need it?
Georgia Standards of Excellence in Science:
- S1L1.b — Ask questions to compare and contrast the basic needs of plants (air, water, light, and nutrients) and animals (air, water, food, and shelter).
