This lesson is part of a wider cross-curricula unit called London Zoo which is designed for KS1 and lower KS2 students (Y2-4). The animals have escaped at the zoo and the keeper needs your help! The presentation first encourages students to describe the features of animals. It then challenges students to match animals to their names, description and habitat. It includes a variety of animals including fish, birds, mammals, insects and amphibians. There is a group activity and an individual activity: Group Activity: Students match animals to their names, description and habitat (KS1 and KS2 versions). Individual Activity: Students match animals to their names, description and habitat on a worksheet. This is differentiated three ways: Easier – Students match animals to their habitats. Medium – Students match animals to their description and habitat. Harder – Students fill in the names of the animals and match them to their description and habitat. Extension – Students classify animals as fish, birds, mammals, insects or amphibians. If you like this resource, we would appreciate a review!

A quick, easy, standalone lesson for pupils in key stage one, or working at an equivalent level. Resources includes a power point and worksheet. The power point explains different habitats (savannah, arctic, rainforest and desert) before going on to explain the main activity and gives opportunities to discuss pupils answers. The power point also introduces a second activity which could be used for more able pupils. The main activity asks pupils to sort animals into different habitats. The second activity presents pupils with “alien” or fake animals and they must think about the features of the animals before again placing them in differing habitats. This allows for great discussion around adaptation and suitability for different habitats.

Sorting activity to help children sort different habitats for different animals.

Includes large pictures of different habitats (farm, ocean, arctic, jungle, savanna) and two pages of different animals to sort into them.

The students were taken on a discovery tour of our Australian school bushland to identify evidence of animal habitats. The students had to circle ‘yes’ of ‘no’ as to whether there was evidence that the depicted animals lived in the bushland. We then returned to discuss their findings. This resource could be used in any Australian school yard or alternatively take your students on an excursion to a local park.

This resource contains 5 different puzzles / habitats. These puzzles are a great way for you to introduce and reflect upon animal habitats in your teaching. Simply cut out each of the jigsaw pieces and laminate (this will keep them strong and longer lasting and students match the animals/objects to the correct habitat. Habitats included are: ♦ desert ♦ ocean ♦ arctic ♦ rainforest ♦ pond Each puzzle comes with 4 animals/nature piece. Each puzzle piece has an image and the name of that image below it. A fun activity that is a great way to introduce or work on animal habitats.

A science lesson aimed at Lower KS2 focusing on animal habitats and what living things need to survive. Pupils explore different habitats before choosing an animal and using hexagon templates to sort and select what their chosen creature would need in its environment. The PowerPoint then includes a follow-up habitat design activity where pupils plan and create their own habitat. This worked particularly well as part of a wider cross-curricular project, leading into pupils building their habitats in shoe boxes and creating stop motion animations using toy animals. Includes: PowerPoint lesson input PDF cut-and-stick hexagon worksheets Habitat design activity Cross-curricular creative follow-up ideas Ideal for developing: Understanding of habitats and animal needs Classification and sorting skills Scientific thinking and discussion Creativity and design skills Speaking and listening Suitable for Lower KS2 and adaptable for mixed ability, ALN/SEN/SRB learners.

Ignite your students curiosity and foster a deep connection with the natural world using this Key Stage 1 (KS1) resource! This Habitat Scavenger Hunt activity is designed to embed core science curriculum concepts through engaging outdoor learning and discovery. Perfect for enhancing your Science lessons, it offers a hands-on exploration of woodland creatures and their diverse habitats. The Activity The hunt focuses on six commonly found animals and their habitats: Hedgehog (Under logs, dense bushes, leaf piles) Woodlouse (Damp, dark places: under stones, bark, or compost) Caterpillar (On specific plants, leaves, or stems) Bird (Nests in trees, bushes, or hedgerows) Spider (Webs between branches, fences, or in corners) Ladybird (On leaves, flowers, or bark surfaces) How to Use Children record their findings by drawing or sketching the habitat where they believe the creature lives (e.g., drawing a pile of leaves for the Hedgehog, or a damp log for the Woodlouse). Outdoor Exploration Take the class to a an outdoor area. Discuss searching techniques (e.g., gently lifting logs, looking under stones, examining leaves). Drawing & Recording Children use their clipboards to sketch the location and details of the habitat they discover or identify, reinforcing observation skills and scientific recording. Discussion & Review Conclude by discussing why each habitat is suitable (e.g., the Woodlouse needs moisture, the Bird needs shelter).

Animals and Habitats Matching Activity Packed with colourful visuals and engaging matching activities, this resource is specially designed for lower ability students to explore different animals and their habitats.

This interactive resource helps children identify an animal living in the environment around them, how seasons affect it and how our actions can impact on its life. The resource encourages children to ask and answer questions and consider how they can demonstrate care, responsibility and concern for living things in their area.

A variety of animals and plants must be sorted by their habitat. Worksheet for Year 7 Biology.

Pupils m ust match the animal to the correct habitat. This activity is part of lesson 5 in the BTEC Biology scheme of work. For BTEC in Applied Science: Biology.

One resource included pictures of 6 habitats and some animals that live there. A nice idea would be to hand out the habitat pictures and ask the children to match the animals with the habitat in which they live! The second resource lists 5 adaptations per animal and habitat which could be cut up and muddled on tables. Children would then need to find the five that match their animal or habitat to show how its adapted/adaptable.
