Chapter 3: Looking at Habitats
Lesson #1: Places to Live
Vocabulary

Habitat: A place where plants and animals live.
for
+
*What can animals & plants find in a habitat to live?
Animals: food, home/shelter and water
Plants: soil, rain/water, sunlight and animals
Different kinds of habitats

Grassy and warm  grassland

Wet and grassy  pond

Cold and snowy  arctic

Hot and dry  desert
How do living things use their habitats?


Animals: 1) food: plants or other animals
2) shelter: hide and sleep
Plants: 1) different soil to grow
2) different weather
- dry places: big stems to hold and save water
- wet places: big leaves to get rid of extra water

Lesson #2: Food chains and food webs
Vocabulary

Food chain: a model of the order in which living
things get the food they need.
- Shows how food energy moves from one living thing to
another

Food web: 2 or more food chains are connected.
- one kind of animal can be food for many bigger animals
Food chain & food web both starts with the sun.
Vocabulary


Predator: an animal that hunts other
animals for food (bigger animals)
Prey: animals that are hunted by
predators (smaller animals)
Prey?
Food Chain
Plants: are ‘producers’
- need sun to make their own food
Insects/animals: are ‘herbivore’
- eat plants for food
Snakes: are ‘carnivore’
- eat insects for food
Hawks: are ‘carnivore’
- eat frogs for food
Worms: are ‘decomposers’
- break the dead things up into very small pieces
Food Chain

Lesson #3: Habitats Change
Vocabulary

Drought: a long period of time with little or
no rain
- plants & animals can not live without water,
but too much water will cause flood
- flood: when there’s too much water
Vocabulary


•
•
Endanger: when many of one
kind of animal die and
only a few are left
Extinct: When a living thing
dies out and no more of its
kind live on earth
Which animals are endangered?
Which animal is extinct?
Vocabulary

-
-
Fossil: What is left of a living thing from the
past
scientists get clues and study about habitats of the
past from the plants and animal fossils
_______ can help tell how animals may have
looked or moved.
-
Predict
-If fossils do not match the habitat they were found
 habitat has changed
How do habitat change

-
Nature disaster can change habitat
no water/rain  drought
too much water  floods, typhoons, tsunami
fire  burn and kill animals or plants
Animals can change habitat
- beavers  make dams  pond
 People can change habitat
- cut down plants or trees
- build houses or other buildings
- pollutions

What happens when habitats change?

-
Animals
adapt to the new habitat  adaptation
find new habitat  migrate
many of them die  endangered or extinct
(people hunt them or build on their habitat)

Chapter 4: Kinds of Habitats
Lesson #1: Forests
Vocabulary

-

Woodland forest: A habitat that gets
enough rain and sunlight for trees to
grow well
Winter is cold
Summer is hot
Rain forest: A habitat where
it rains almost every day
- Always warm, steamy and moist
Woodland forest

Animals : deer, birds, bears, foxes, fish, insects,
worms and snakes
* different ways to survive:
build homes in trees and sleep in logs during the winter
sleep through winter when there’s no food hibernate
- eat different food (leaves, fruits or animals) in different
season
-

Plants : have leaves that
- change color in different season
- drop to the ground in the fall
- some stay green all year
Tropical Rain Forest

Animals :
-
live in the treetops (high): bats, insects, colorful birds
live on the ground (low): jaguars, tapirs, wild boars (wild pigs)

Plants :
-
-
grow tall and have huge leaves
Orchids, ferns & mosses live on trees  to get sunlight
animals & plants try to blend in with the trees to stay safe
 camouflage

Lesson #2: Hot and Cold Deserts
Vocabulary

Desert: a dry habitat that gets very little rain
-
very hot, dry and sandy
Hot during the day
Cold at night

Arctic: a very cold near the North Pole
-
- very cold and windy
Desert (hot and dry)

Weather
-Hot during the day
-Cold at night
Soil
- sandy and rocky
 Plants: cactus
- steams & leaves  store water
- roots  spread out far or deep to find water
- Leaves  curl up during the day (why?)

Desert

-
-
Animals
tortoises, snails, lizards, coyote
need to survive without much water
sleep during the day or stay in shed
come out at night to hunt for food
* Where do they get water?
1.
2.
eat plants
eat other animals
* Why do they have pale skin color?
1.
Stay cool
2.
Hide from other animals
Arctic (cold & dry desert)

Animals
- foxes, reindeer, polar bears, walruses
* How do animals survive & keep warm in the cold
winter?
1.
2.
thick white fur
thick blubber (fat)
Arctic

-
-
•
•
Plants
small & short  sheltered from cold wind
Soil  under the surface & stay frozen all year
leaves  tiny
roots  shallow (short, not deep)
Why do plants have short roots?
Why can’t plants grow tall?

Lesson #3: Ocean and Ponds
Vocabulary

Pond: a small body of fresh water that
does not flow
- has little or no salt

Ocean: a large body of salt water that is
always flowing.
Pond (fresh water/doesn’t flow)

-

-
Animals
frogs, fish, turtles, snakes, insects, alligators
breathe in different ways:
* insects  tube
* salamanders  skin
* fish  gills
Plants
roots  grow near the shore
stems, leaves, flowers  grow out of the water to get sunlight
Ocean (salt water)
covers most of the earth

Animals
-
fish, sharks, dolphins  fins or flippers help them swim
jellyfish & squid  move by sucking in and forcing out water
sea turtles & clams  have hard shells
Sea star & blow fish  have sharp spines
•
