Which Animal Can Live in This Habitat? River

Take a trip down to the river with this habitat worksheet! Students will begin by describing the characteristics of a river habitat—is it hot, cold, dry, wet, sandy, or grassy? Then, learners are asked to think about the needs of a giraffe, beaver, and salmon and determine whether or not each animal could live in a river.

Tailored for second and third graders, this worksheet will prompt students to think critically about how animals interact with their habitats. Animals have different needs, and certain habitats may or may not meet those needs. Young scientists can apply this knowledge as they learn about behavioral and physical adaptations and the interactions within ecosystems.
