Which Animal Can Live in This Habitat? Deep Sea

Discover what lives in the depths of the sea in this habitat worksheet! Growing scientists will start by writing a few sentences to describe a deep sea habitat. Students are then asked to determine whether an alligator, an orangutan, and a goblin shark could live in the deep sea. Learners must consider each animal’s unique needs and the characteristics of the habitat as they answer.

As second and third graders complete this writing activity, not only will they learn more about how animals interact with their habitats, but they will strengthen their logical reasoning abilities as well. This practice will help students become familiar with the ways in which habitats can help meet animals’ needs, which can be beneficial background knowledge as young scientists learn about ecosystems and adaptations.
