Science
Living Things and their Habitats- Habitats around the world
In this unit, Living Things and Their Habitats – Habitats Around the World, children explore the differences between living, dead, and never-alive things. They learn how plants and animals are suited to different habitats, including microhabitats, and how these habitats meet their basic needs. Pupils also identify a range of plants and animals and learn how living things depend on each other through simple food chains.
