Basic Needs of Living Things in Nature

August-June

Plants and animals require food, water, shelter, space, and air to survive. We will explore how those basic needs are met in each habitat at Greenacres.

Ohio Science Standards:

  • LS Grade 1: Living things have basic needs, which are met by obtaining materials from the physical environment.
  • LS Grade 1: Living things survive only in environments that meet their needs.

NGSS Standards:

  • 1-LS1-1. Use materials to design a solution to a human problem by mimicking how plants and/or animals use their external parts to help them survive, grow, and meet their needs.
