Fascinating Fact:

When we group animals by where they live, we see pond animals, woodland animals, farm animals, and minibeasts in tiny homes.

In KS1 Science, you learn to group and classify animals by their habitats. This helps you spot patterns, understand where animals belong, and see how they survive in different places.

Key Terms

  • Grouping: Putting living things into sets that share something similar, such as where they live or what they eat.
  • Habitat: The natural home of a plant or animal, like a pond, woodland, farm, or garden.
  • Minibeast: A small invertebrate, such as a worm, beetle, or spider, often found in tiny hiding places.
