Let's solve this worksheet step by step.
Task:
Circle the basic need of an animal in each group.
The
basic needs of animals are:
-
Food
-
Water
-
Shelter
-
Air (Oxygen)
Now, let’s analyze each group:
---
1.
Images:
- Soil/dirt
- Tree
- Water splash
- Rock
✔ Water is a basic need for all animals.
So,
circle the water splash.
>
✔ Answer: Water
---
2.
Images:
- Wind/air (with leaves)
- Clothes (shirts, pants, jacket)
- Books
- Hat
✔ Air is essential for breathing — it's a basic need.
Clothes, books, and hats are not needed by animals (except maybe shelter, but these are human items).
>
✔ Answer: Air (wind symbol)
---
3.
Images:
- Basket
- Food (meat, sausages, burgers, etc.)
- Cardboard box
- Couch
✔ Food is a basic need for animals.
The basket, box, and couch are not food or directly related to survival (though a box could be shelter, but the food is clearly the most direct basic need here).
>
✔ Answer: Food (the pile of meat and snacks)
---
4.
Images:
- Light bulb
- Pencil
- Shoes
- Dog house (with bone)
✔ The
dog house provides
shelter, which is a basic need for animals.
Light bulbs, pencils, and shoes are human-made items and not necessary for animals.
>
✔ Answer: Dog house
---
✔ Final Answers:
1.
Water
2.
Air (wind)
3.
Food
4.
Dog house (shelter)
You should
circle:
- Water in group 1
- Wind (air) in group 2
- Food in group 3
- Dog house in group 4
This helps teach children that animals need
food, water, air, and shelter to survive — just like humans!
