Exploring Animal Habitats with Meaningful Literature and More

animal2bhabitats-5697671

Animal habitats is a common topic in science, and this post includes a variety of resources and ideas you can use to build a meaningful unit for your students.  Kids love animals and have a natural curiosity about them.

To the right, I’ve included a theme sheet with a variety of activities including habitat mobiles from Fabulous 2 and 3, Polar Region Snowglobes from Science Penguin, Animal Design Project from Horizons, and a Desert Habitat freebie from Simply Second. They all look like loads of fun.  Just click the image to download a copy. The animal habitat resources are linked in the pdf for easy download.

This blog post is all about animal habitats. If you're working on a science unit on this topic, check out all the resources here for a cross curricular unit your kids will enjoy.

Book Suggestions for Animal Habitats

First of all, let’s start with suggested reading. For animal habitat book suggestions, I have listed a few that I’ve enjoyed using. I am a huge fan of the National Geographic books for kids, and I have also found a few of the Green Light Readers nonfiction worth included too.  Here are a few other collections that I found as I searched for this post.  They are linked pins, so you can repin them to your own boards too.
