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
