Lesson Plan - Get It!

Audio:

Plants and animals both need water, air, food, and shelter to survive.

Plants need different types of shelter than animals. The plant's home is in the soil where their roots take hold and grow. Plants need sunlight to survive, and they also use sunlight to make their food. Discuss with a parent or teacher what plants and animals both need to survive.

Watch the 4 Basic Needs of Living Things -Animation Video for Kids by Make Me Genius video below to review what you have learned so far. Write your answers to the questions below on a sheet of paper while you watch the video. When you finish answering the questions, discuss your answers with a parent or teacher:

1. What happened when the boy in the video held his breath? Could he hold his breath for very long?
2. How do fish breathe in water?
3. Where do living things get their energy?
4. What do plants eat?
5. Animals need the right kind of place to live; what is the right type of shelter for a polar bear?

Did you answer all the questions correctly? Think of something animals in your area might need to survive. Where do animals in your area find food and water? Share your answers with a parent or teacher.
