3rd grade science packet on habitats

This learning resource explores various habitats where different animals live and the adaptations that help them survive in those environments. It begins with a clear definition of a habitat as a natural home, providing essential needs like food, water, and shelter. Four types of habitats are highlighted: the forest, desert, ocean, and pond, each described with examples of the animals that inhabit them. The document further explains how specific adaptations, such as thick fur in polar bears or webbed feet in ducks, allow these animals to thrive in their distinct environments. Key vocabulary terms related to adaptation and habitat are introduced, enhancing students' understanding. Additionally, activities encourage creative expression through drawing and writing about animals and their homes, while comprehension checks reinforce learning about adaptations.
