Where Is My Home?

In this classroom activity, help animals from all over the world answer an important question: Where is my home? Catered to students this lesson plan will have students asking questions about what animals need to survive. Whether it’s food, water, or shelter, there are plenty of answers that will help students better understand plants, animals, and the earth.
The teacher will show various habitat pictures to students and ask students to think about names for each of the habitats, encouraging them to pretend they are scientists! 
The teacher will show a picture of an animal and place the animal in a habitat that is not the animal’s habitat. Ask the students if the animal would be able to survive in the habitat. Explain to them what does it mean habitat and also give them a brief explanation of the basic needs. To relate this concept to a visual connection students will watch a slide show about different habitats. After the presentation, we will discuss the main highlighted point of the class habitat and explain that the four basic needs for living things are food, water, shelter, and love. Our discussion will be fun-filled and interactive so children can get attracted to the main topic habitat. 

Ask the students to think about the habitats that do not exist in their community. A potential question would be: "Why do you think we don't have forests by our homes or the school? What is the weather like here?  The teacher will guide students to think of climate and weather conditions, too. Children are going to answer that asked from the teacher and they will complete the match-up worksheets and also will draw their habitat which is a house with the teacher's directions. We will wrap up the class here.
