Biodiversity in Habitats

Aligned to 2-LS4 — Next Generation Science Standards.

What this lesson teaches

Different places (habitats) are home to many different kinds of living things. Each habitat supports the plants and animals suited to it.

Worked example

A pond is home to frogs, fish, and lily pads, while a desert has cactuses and lizards — different living things in different places.

Practice questions

  1. Name two animals that live in a pond.
  2. Why don't cactuses grow in a pond?
  3. List living things you'd find in a forest.

Biodiversidad en los Hábitats

Diferentes lugares (hábitats) son el hogar de muchos tipos distintos de seres vivos. Cada hábitat sostiene a las plantas y animales que están adaptados a él.

Ejemplo: Un estanque es el hogar de ranas, peces y nenúfares, mientras que un desierto tiene cactus y lagartijas — seres vivos diferentes en lugares diferentes.
