Identify animal needs
Free printable Grade 1 science worksheet for "Identify animal needs" — practice animals. No-prep, print or assign online.
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
