About this worksheet
Food is one reason a habitat can support a living thing. Second graders may know where an animal lives but not explain what that place provides. They may also see a food chain as a list of animals instead of a flow of food from plants or other producers to consumers. This worksheet connects habitats to food sources using familiar ponds, meadows, forests, gardens, streams, shores, deserts, and wetlands. Students identify food available in a habitat, choose the producer, match a consumer to its food, order a simple food chain, and predict what could happen if a food source disappears. Support versions use very direct plant-and-animal pairs. Challenge versions add less familiar habitats and evidence language. Encourage your child to name what eats what and where that food is found.
What your child will learn
Connect habitats with available food
Identify producers and consumers
Order simple food chains
Predict how food changes affect animals
Worked example
In a meadow, grass can feed a rabbit, and a fox may eat the rabbit. The habitat supplies the first food source.
Common mistake
Naming an animal's habitat without explaining what food it can find there.
