Grade 2 Science Worksheet

lion
kangaroo
duck
giraffe
bear
goat
frog
dog
Many animals have a special name for their babies. A baby cat is a kitten, a baby cow is a calf and a baby kangaroo is a joey. Baby animals often look like their parents but are smaller, and many of them need their parents to feed them and keep them safe until they can look after themselves. Some babies, such as a tadpole, look quite different from their parents and change as they grow.
This worksheet shows a picture of each of eight animals, and the child circles the name of the baby for each one. Several animals share a baby name: a bear, a lion and a tiger all have cubs, and a cow, an elephant and a giraffe all have calves. Ask your child to say the name aloud with the animal: a baby cow is a calf.
