Exploring Local Habitats

What Is a Habitat?

A habitat is the place where a plant or animal lives. It provides food, water, shelter, and space.

Exploring Nearby Habitats

Parks, gardens, ponds, and even your backyard are habitats! By exploring them, you can find different plants and animals and see how they live.

Connecting to Science

Learning about local habitats helps us care for living things and protect the environment.

Examples

  • Visiting a pond to look for frogs, birds, and insects.

  • Noticing which plants grow best in sunny versus shady areas.
