Identify animal needs — free printable Grade 1 Science worksheet

What do animals need to survive? Grade 1 scientists explore this foundational question in this Life Science worksheet, identifying the basic needs of animals — food, water, shelter, and air — and connecting those needs to real examples. Teachers and parents can use it during an animals unit to build vocabulary and conceptual understanding before students compare animal needs to human or plant needs. Early exposure to basic needs thinking supports later study of habitats, ecosystems, and animal adaptations.

Learning objectives

  • Identify the basic survival needs of animals: food, water, shelter, and air
  • Match animals to the specific ways they meet their needs
  • Explain what happens when an animal's needs are not met
