For more practice, visit the video website again and create different habitats, play

games with the habitats, and review flashcards on each habitat!

Summary In this lesson, the students will have familiarized

themselves with four different habitats. They will be able to explain and give characteristics of each habitat, as well as name a few animals that belong with each.

During this lesson, the students will become more knowledgeable about the different environments in which living beings lives and be able to understand that each living thing requires different habitats in order to survive.

The students will have watched four different videos about different habitats, then did a little review on each in hopes that when the teacher asks them questions about each they will be able to answer them correctly.
