Identify needs — free printable Grade 1 Science worksheet

First graders explore what plants and animals need to survive in this Grade 1 Life Science worksheet, identifying basic needs — food, water, shelter, and air — and connecting them to the organisms that rely on ecosystems for those needs. Teachers can use it as an introduction to habitats and ecosystems, or as a whole-class discussion anchor after students observe a school garden or outdoor space. Understanding needs is the first step toward appreciating why healthy ecosystems matter for all living things.

Learning objectives

  • Identify the basic needs of plants and animals: food, water, air, and shelter
  • Explain how ecosystems provide for the needs of the organisms living within them
  • Connect specific organisms to the ecosystem resources that meet their needs
