Habitats and Biomes
Level 1

We know that a habitat is a place where plants and animals naturally live and grow. Every plant and animal has it own special habitat that provides food, water, and shelter.

These habitats are part of even larger areas called biomes. Each biome has a special climate, type of soil, and living conditions that provide habitats for certain plants and animals.

The forest is one biome. Evergreen trees, such as firs, spruce, and pines grow in the forest biome. Animals, like deer, bears, and squirrels are also found here.

The desert is another biome. Lizards, tortoises, and some snakes make their home in this biome. Plants like the cactus grow well in the desert.

Other biomes include the grassland, cliffs, ocean, tropical forest, and tundra.

Instructions: The plants and animals below have been listed in the biome where their habitats are usually found. There is one mistake in each list. Cross out the name of the plant or animal whose habitat is not usually found in that biome.
