Module 9: Home Sweet Habitat

Essential Question: How do living things in a habitat depend on each other?
Science Connection: Animal Habitats
What is that bird in your neighborhood—and why does it live there? In this module, children will learn about the different habitats where animals live. Hot deserts, warm rainforests, and cool, underwater habitats all provide food and shelter for the animals that live there. Through reading a variety of texts and collaborative work, children will explore how the conditions in different habitats help different animals to survive.
