Which Animal Can Live in This Habitat? Wetland

Explore a wetland habitat with this engaging short-answer worksheet! Young scientists will begin by describing a wetland—is it hot, cold, wet, dry, grassy, or sandy? Then, learners are shown three animals: a great blue heron, a beaver, and an arctic fox. Using what they know about the habitat and the needs of each animal, students must decide whether or not the animal could live in a wetland.

This activity is a great way to encourage second and third graders to think about the interactions between animals and their habitats. Animals must rely on their habitat to help meet their needs, and habitats can provide for those needs in different ways. This worksheet can also lead students to consider adaptations and the workings of ecosystems.
