In this lesson you will:
  • Say what plants and animals need to live.
  • Name kind ways to treat animals.

What Living Things Need

All living things need food or nutrients, water and a safe place to live. Plants also need sunlight and air.

  • Water
  • Food or nutrients
  • Air
  • Shelter
  • Care

Be Kind and Safe

Do not pull a dog's tail. Do not step on flowers. Ask an adult before touching an animal you do not know. Wash your hands after touching animals or soil.

A plant in your care

Put a small plant near a window.

Water it gently when the soil is dry.

Watch it grow over the next two weeks.

Warning Not every animal is friendly. Keep a safe distance from stray animals and always tell an adult if one is hurt.

Practice

  1. Name two things a plant needs to grow.
  2. Draw a picture of you caring for an animal or plant.
  3. Tell someone one kind thing you can do for an animal this week.

Recap

Living things need care. Kind, safe actions help animals and plants thrive.
