What this worksheet teaches

• Sort animals into groups such as birds, fish, insects and mammals using visible features.
• Describe simple life cycles, for example seed to plant or egg to chick.
• Compare how different animals move, eat and protect themselves.
• Identify what a habitat is and match animals to the habitat that suits them.

How to use this worksheet

If you can spare a jar and a bean, start a seed soaking the day before this worksheet. Life-cycle questions are much easier when a real sprout is sitting on the windowsill, because Grade 2 students find the order of stages easier to remember than the words for them.

Sample questions from this worksheet

1. Why are plants important?
2. What do plants release into air?

Frequently asked questions

How much writing does this worksheet need?

Answers are short - a word, a label or a single sentence. It is designed so that limited spelling confidence does not block a child who understands the science.

Do we need to grow a real plant to complete it?

No. Everything can be answered from the worksheet itself, though growing a bean in a jar alongside it makes the life-cycle questions noticeably easier to remember.

What comes after this topic?

Grade 3 usually moves from parts and groups to how living things depend on their surroundings - food chains, adaptation and habitats in more detail. Solid plant parts and animal groups now make that step much smoother.
