Describe a Habitat: Forest

EASYTEACHING.NET

Overview:

A worksheet designed to help upper years students describe a forest habitat and analyse how an animal’s features support its survival in this environment. Designed for upper years students.

Learning Objectives:

Understand the key characteristics of a forest habitat.
Explore the relationship between an animal’s features and its environment.
Develop skills in observation, description, and drawing to represent survival adaptations.

How the Activity Works:

Students begin by describing the forest habitat, focusing on its features, such as vegetation, climate, and biodiversity. Next, they choose an animal that lives in a forest habitat and explain how its physical and behavioural features help it survive. Students then draw and label the chosen animal, highlighting its survival adaptations. Finally, they reflect on how the forest habitat supports the animal’s needs for food, shelter, and safety.
