3 ANIMALS AND THEIR HABITATS: KS1 LESSON 1 IDENTIFYING AND GROUPING COMMON ANIMALS AND PLANTS A teaching resource developed The Donkey Sanctuary

4 ABOUT THIS RESOURCE This resource has been developed and produced as part of a series by The Donkey Sanctuary, with a view to furthering one of it s core aims in promoting understanding, care and welfare issues for animals by young people. It has been developed to cover a range of aspects from the new 2014 KS1 Programmes of Study which are outlined in the separate Teacher s Notes and Scheme of Learning. It primarily covers the Science POS Animals, Living Things and their Habitats, but it is presented in a project based learning format with many cross curricular links to other areas such as Geography, Art and Design, Design and Technology, English and PSHE. Animals and their Habitats has been developed with teacher and environmental specialist input with an aim to provide a detailed and usable resource for everyday use by teachers. We would welcome any feedback, additions, student s work or comments concerning this resource which can be directed to the National Schools Programme Coordinator: carl.wholey@thedonkeysanctuary.org.uk

94 LOCAL HABITATS: (Around school) Identify and make a list of the different habitats around the school. Draw a map of where the habitats are. Make a note of what the habitat is like: wet, dry, sunny, shady, hot, cold, soil, plants and any other things like rocks or stones. Draw two of the local habitats around the school. Make sure you label the parts of the habitat.

95 MAKE A LIST OF THE SCHOOL HABITATS flower beds grass and field woods and trees fallen trees pond big rocks playground stone walls hedges long wild grass bush grass bank

96 DRAW A MAP OF WHERE THE HABITATS ARE

97 LIST THE SCHOOL HABITAT FEATURES Hedge: Shady, dry underneath Rocks: Shady, wet underneath Grass: Hot, no shade, MY SCHOOL HABITATS Log: Damp under, rotten leaves Wall: Dry, lots of cracks and holes, moss Trees: Shady, dry under Long grass: Good cover, lots of leaves and seeds, Pond: Wet, rocks around, plants in water Flower beds: Dry soil, hot, petals on soil Bush: Shady, leaves, dry under Hedge; Shady, dry underneath Does colouring in the areas help the map?

98 DRAW AND LABEL TWO SCHOOL HABITATS Wet, rocks, water plants, fish, flies, grass. Lilly leaves give shade to the fish Soil is damp and dark. Worms, woodlice, grass around it. Heavy rock. Does colouring in the drawings help?

99 WHICH HABITAT DO WOODLICE PREFER? Let us investigate! 1. Carefully brush some woodlice into a container with a paintbrush. Be careful with them, they are living things. 2. Get a plastic tray, divide into four and make the following areas: Dark and dry: cover this with a piece of black sugar paper. Wrinkle it a little so they can get underneath. Dark and damp: cover this with a piece of damp, black sugar paper. Wrinkle it so they can get underneath. Bright and dry: cover this with a piece of dry, white paper. Bright and damp: cover this with a piece of damp white paper. 3. Place the woodlice in the tray. After 20 to 30 minutes count how many woodlice are in each section. Record what you find. Which area did the woodlice prefer? Where would expect to find them outside?

100 WHICH HABITAT DO WOODLICE PREFER? Dark and dry Bright and dry Dark and damp Bright and damp

101 WOODLOUSE antennae eyes head Woodlice need damp dark places to hide in during the day. You can find them in leaf litter, under pots, compost heaps, grassland, woodland and gardens. thorax 7 pairs of legs abdomen uropods

102 WHAT LIVES IN OUR POND? Let us investigate! You will need: a net, a white bowl and a magnifying glass 1. Put some of the pond water into the bowl 2. Use the net to sweep the water (3 different ways in turn) 3. Empty the net contents into the bowl. 4. Use the magnifying glass to try and identify and record what you have caught. Carry out the above for each of the following and then empty the bowl each time: 1. On top or just under the surface 2. In the middle area of the water 3. Near or on the bottom on the pond Use the worksheets to identify and record what you find.

103

104

105 TREE AND LEAF HUNT Let us investigate! Have you ever wondered what types of trees you walk past every day? The easiest way to identify trees is by looking at their leaves because different trees have different leaves. 1. Add the position of large trees to your school habitat map. 2. Find and match the leaves to the correct trees. 3. Use the leaf identification sheet to identify the trees. 4. Record what you find and add the tree names to your map.

190 THREE BILLY GOATS GRUFF Once upon a time there were three Billy Goats Gruff; Little Billy Goat, Middle Sized Billy Goat and Great Big Billy Goat, who lived in a field in a green valley. They loved to eat sweet grass, but sadly their field was now brown and barren because they were greedy goats and they d eaten every last blade of grass. But they were still hungry. In the distance they could see a field that was full of sweet green grass, but there was only one way to get to it, over a bridge over a stream. Under the bridge lived a terrible troll, he was always hungry too. There was nothing he liked better than to eat a nice juicy Billy Goat. The Little Billy Goat was the first to reach the bridge. He put one hoof and then another onto the bridge but because it was so rickety, however hard he tried, his hoof still went trip trap, trip trap on the wooden planks. Suddenly there was a huge roar. Who s that trip trapping over my bridge? and out from under the bridge came the Troll. Shaking in his hooves, Little Billy Goat Gruff managed to squeak It s only me. I m only going to look for some grass to eat.

191 Oh no you re not! I m going to eat you for my breakfast, lunch and tea! Oh no! said Little Billy Goat Gruff. I m just Little Billy Goat Gruff. Why don t you wait for my brother? He s bigger than me and much tastier. So the greedy Troll decided to wait and Little Billy Goat Gruff skipped over the bridge and began to eat the fresh green grass on the other side. The other goats saw Little Billy Goat Gruff eating the fresh green grass and were jealous because they wanted some too. So Middle Sized Billy Goat Gruff went down to the bridge and began to cross the stream. Trip, trap, trip, trap went his middle sized hooves. Again the Troll came out from under the bridge. Who s that trip trapping over my bridge? he roared. Shaking in his hooves, Middle Sized Billy Goat Gruff managed to say in his softest voice It s only me. I m following my brother, Little Billy Goat Gruff, so I can eat the sweet grass. Oh no you re not! I m going to eat you for breakfast, lunch and tea! Oh no, Mr Troll, you wouldn t want to eat me. I m not big enough to fill you up. Wait until my big brother comes along, he s much tastier than me. Oh all right said the Troll and Middle Sized Billy Goat Gruff ran over the bridge and began to eat the sweet green grass with Little Billy Goat Gruff.

192 Big bold Billy Goat Gruff was jealous and couldn t wait to get across the bridge and join his brothers. So boldly, he put his hooves onto the bridge. Trip, trap, trip, trap. Suddenly the Troll came out from under the bridge. Who s that trip trapping over my bridge? he boomed. It s me. Big Billy Goat Gruff. Who do you think you are? I m the Troll and I m going to eat you for breakfast, lunch and tea! Oh no, you re not Oh yes I am, you ll see! Then the Troll rushed at Big Billy Goat Gruff who bent his head and bravely charged at the Troll, catching him up in his horns and pushing him into the stream below. The Troll disappeared under the rushing water, never to be seen again. From then on, anyone could cross the bridge and enjoy the sweet green grass with the Three Billy Goats Gruff

207 ANIMALS AND THEIR HABITATS: KS1 LESSON 9 SUITABILITY AND ADAPTATIONS A teaching resource developed The Donkey Sanctuary

208 ANIMAL ADAPTATIONS Over time animals and plants have adapted their bodies and behaviours to suit their habitats. Can you think of how an animal or plant could adapt?

209 ANIMAL ADAPTATIONS Over time animals and plants have adapted their bodies and behaviours to suit their habitats. Can you think of how an animal or plant could adapt? fur feathers nose protection size breathing mouth ears feeding claws roots leaves flowers tail groups shelter hunting colour beak legs eyes feet

210 ANIMAL ADAPTATIONS Research how these animals have adapted to their habitats

211 CAMEL ADAPTATIONS Long eyelashes to protect from blowing sand Nostrils can be closed to protect from blowing sand Stores fat in their humps to be used as energy Can last a week without water Thick overhanging eyebrows to protect from the sun Large wide feet so they walk on soft sand Can last months without food Thick lips to eat prickly desert plants Colour of their body blends into the desert Hairy ears to stop sand

212 PENGUIN ADAPTATIONS Webbed feet for swimming Huddle together to keep warm Dark feathers absorb the heat from the sun Streamlined body for swimming Produce oil for their feathers for waterproofing Wings shaped like flippers Thick skin and blubber to keep warm Heavy solid bones to give them weight to get under water

213 DONKEY ADAPTATIONS Light tan or grey colour helps camouflage them Coat reflects the sun Can digest coarse plants Large ears give good hearing Large ears to get rid of heat Specialised teeth for grinding food Long limbs and narrow hooves for quick and easy movement through rocky ground Able to get energy from low calorie food

214 POLAR BEAR ADAPTATIONS White fur is good camouflage with snow and ice Thick fur and a layer of fat to keep warm Thick claws help walking on ice Eyes at the front of it s head: predator Wide, large paws for walking on the snow Can close it s nostrils when swimming under water Large jaws and sharp teeth for eating meat and fish

215 GIRAFFE ADAPTATIONS Eyes at the side of the head to see predators Have long, rough tongues to help them get leaves from between thorns Long neck allows them to feed from the treetops Can last a long time without water Long neck allows them to see predators Has an extra large heart to pump blood up their necks Skin pattern provides camouflage when around trees Long legs allow them to reach even further

216 LION ADAPTATIONS Colour of coat helps camouflage in it s habitat Loose belly skin allows it to be kicked without too much damage Sharp predator teeth and strong jaw Eyes at the front of the head: predator Heavily muscled front legs and shoulders for catching prey Rough tongue for peeling skin and meat from a prey s bones It s mane makes it look bigger and protects the throat area Retractable claws to grab and hold prey
