LANGUAGE
Science›Ecosystems & Habitats|Ages 6—8|ID: mt_Fw0bbM1e_g

Mastery Evidence

  • Match animals to their habitats and explain the match using 'adapted to', 'conditions', or 'shelter'
  • Correctly use 'habitat' and 'microhabitat' to describe different scales of environment with examples
  • Name at least three contrasting habitats and describe what makes each distinctive

Assessment Prompt

“Can [child] explain why a polar bear couldn't survive in a rainforest — using the word 'habitat' or 'conditions' rather than just 'it's too hot'?”

Prerequisites0
