Identify animal survival needs
Second graders identify what animals need to survive — food, water, shelter, and air — using this Life Science worksheet that connects basic biology to observable animal behavior. Teachers and parents can use it alongside a classroom lesson or book about animals, helping students articulate survival needs across different species. The skill of identifying needs prepares students to compare habitats and ecosystems in later grades.
Learning objectives
- Identify the basic survival needs of animals (food, water, shelter, air)
