Practical Applications

Exploring Animal Habitats

Discovering Nature Around You

You don’t have to go far to find habitats! Even your backyard or local park is full of living things.

What To Look For

  • Birds in trees or bushes
  • Bugs under rocks or leaves
  • Squirrels in grassy areas
  • Fish in a pond

Record Your Findings

Draw or write about what you see. What do these animals eat? Where do they sleep?

Why It Matters

Exploring habitats helps you learn how animals and plants live together and why it’s important to protect their homes.

Examples

  • Finding a bird’s nest in a tree at the playground.

  • Watching ants build tunnels in the dirt.
