About this worksheet

A habitat is the place where a plant or animal lives and finds what it needs, such as food, water and shelter. A whale lives in the ocean, a frog lives near a pond, and a cow lives on a farm. Matching an animal to its habitat helps children see that living things are suited to where they live.

On this grade 1 worksheet each box shows one animal, and your child circles the habitat where it lives from three choices: ocean, forest, pond, farm, grassland or jungle. The wrong choices are places the animal could not live. Ask your child what the animal eats and where it finds it.

What your child will learn

  • Know that an animal lives where it finds what it needs
  • Match an animal to its habitat
  • Tell an ocean, a forest, a pond, a farm and a jungle apart
  • Explain why an animal lives where it does

NGSS standard: 2-LS4-1

Worked example

The picture is a whale. A whale needs deep water, so it lives in the ocean. Circle ocean.

Common mistake

Choosing the habitat because it sounds like the animal's name, not because of what the animal needs.

Helpful hint

Ask: where does it find food and water? Where could it not live?
