Video Learning Notes

In this lesson, students learned that plants and animals have specific needs like water, food, air, shelter, and space, and these needs determine where they live. Using models, students represented the relationship between living things and their habitats, observed and recorded data, and explained how changes in the environment can affect survival. This foundational understanding helps students see how living things depend on their environment and prepares them for further study of ecosystems.

Learning Goals

• Identify the basic needs of different plants and animals, including humans.
• Describe how the needs of plants and animals relate to the places where they live.
• Use a model (such as drawings or simple physical representations) to show the relationship between living things' needs and their habitats.
• Collect observations and data about plants and animals and organize this information using pictures or simple graphs.
• Communicate explanations about how plants and animals depend on their environment to survive.
