Frequently Asked Questions (Click to see answers)

What do animals need to live and grow in KS1 science?

KS1 children learn that animals need food, clean water, air, space to move, and shelter. Without these needs, animals cannot stay healthy or grow properly.

Why is the right habitat important for animals?

The right habitat gives animals suitable food, safe shelter and the right temperature. If the habitat is wrong, the animal may not find enough to eat or may not survive.

How can I teach children about animal needs and habitats?

Use simple pictures, sorting activities and real-life examples. Ask children to match animals to homes and talk about what each animal eats, drinks and needs to stay safe.
