This resource provides an overview of animal habitats with a focus on the polar bear's environment in the Arctic. It explains what a habitat is and how it provides the necessary elements for an animal's survival: food, water, and shelter. The text highlights the adaptations of polar bears, such as their thick layer of fat and white fur for camouflage, which enables them to thrive in their cold, snowy habitat. Additionally, the document includes writing prompts and guidance for students to articulate their understanding of the material, support claims with evidence, and structure their paragraphs effectively.
