Classify organism needs
Third graders sort and classify the needs of different organisms — food, water, shelter, and space — in this Life Science worksheet on ecosystems, building foundational understanding of what living things require to survive. Teachers can use it to introduce or reinforce ecosystem concepts and to help students connect organism needs to the role of habitat. It fits within a Grade 3 Ecosystems unit and supports later learning about food webs and environmental interdependence.
Learning objectives
- Classify the basic survival needs of various organisms
