Let's solve this worksheet step by step.
Task:
Circle the basic need of an animal in each group.
Animals have
basic needs to survive:
-
Food
-
Water
-
Shelter
-
Air (Oxygen)
We’ll identify which item in each group is a
basic need for animals.
---
Group 1:
Items:
- Soil (dirt)
- Tree
- Water splash
- Rock
✔ Water is essential for all animals to survive.
Even though trees and rocks are part of nature, only
water is a direct basic need.
👉
Circle: Water splash
---
Group 2:
Items:
- Wind with leaves (air)
- Clothes (shirts, pants, jacket)
- Books
- Hat
✔ Air is a basic need — animals need oxygen to breathe.
Clothes, books, and hats are human-made items and not needed by animals.
👉
Circle: Wind with leaves (representing air)
---
Group 3:
Items:
- Basket
- Food (meat, eggs, bread, etc.)
- Cardboard box
- Couch
✔ Food is a basic need — animals need food for energy.
The basket, box, and couch are not essential for animal survival.
👉
Circle: Food (the pile of meat and other foods)
---
Group 4:
Items:
- Light bulb
- Pencil
- Shoes
- Dog house
✔ Dog house provides
shelter, which is a basic need for animals to protect themselves from weather and danger.
Light bulbs, pencils, and shoes are for humans.
👉
Circle: Dog house
---
✔ Final Answers:
1.
Water
2.
Air (wind with leaves)
