This is a "Primary 1 Basic Science Worksheet" focused on "Animal Body Coverings." The task is to identify the body covering shown in each of the 10 animal pictures and choose the correct term from the provided box: Fur, Feathers, Scales, or Spines.
I will solve this by examining each image one by one and matching it to the correct body covering based on biological knowledge.

Step 1: Analyze Image 1
-
Image: A brown bear.
-
Body Covering: Bears are mammals covered in thick hair, which is called
Fur.
-
Answer for 1: Fur
Step 2: Analyze Image 2
-
Image: An armadillo.
-
Body Covering: Armadillos have a hard, bony shell made of plates. While not exactly "scales" like a fish, in the context of this primary-level worksheet, their armor is often categorized under
Scales as it's a hard, protective outer layer. However, a more accurate term might be "scutes," but since that's not an option,
Scales is the best fit among the given choices.
-
Answer for 2: Scales
Step 3: Analyze Image 3
-
Image: A swan.
-
Body Covering: Swans are birds, and all birds are covered in
Feathers.
-
Answer for 3: Feathers
Step 4: Analyze Image 4
-
Image: A domestic cat.
-
Body Covering: Cats are mammals with soft, dense hair known as
Fur.
-
Answer for 4: Fur
Step 5: Analyze Image 5
-
Image: A hedgehog.
-
Body Covering: Hedgehogs are covered in sharp, stiff spines for protection. This directly matches the term
Spines.
-
Answer for 5: Spines
Step 6: Analyze Image 6
-
Image: A sea urchin.
-
Body Covering: Sea urchins have a hard, spiky exterior. These are clearly
Spines.
-
Answer for 6: Spines
Step 7: Analyze Image 7
-
Image: A snake.
-
Body Covering: Snakes are reptiles covered in overlapping
Scales.
-
Answer for 7: Scales
Step 8: Analyze Image 8
-
Image: A wolf.
-
Body Covering: Wolves are mammals and are covered in thick
Fur.
-
Answer for 8: Fur
Step 9: Analyze Image 9
-
Image: A peacock (specifically its tail feathers).
-
Body Covering: Peacocks are birds, so they are covered in
Feathers.
-
Answer for 9: Feathers
Step 10: Analyze Image 10
-
Image: An iguana.
-
Body Covering: Iguanas are reptiles and are covered in
Scales.
-
Answer for 10: Scales
