What this worksheet teaches

• Compare herbivores, carnivores and omnivores using teeth and diet as evidence.
• Build a simple food chain and explain what happens when one link is removed.
• Describe how seeds are dispersed by wind, water, animals and bursting, with an example of each.
• Explain how animals protect themselves through camouflage, mimicry, shells and speed.

How to use this worksheet

For the adaptation section, ask 'what would go wrong if this animal lived somewhere else?' before writing. That question turns a memorised list of features into the reasoning Grade 4 papers are actually looking for.

Sample questions from this worksheet

1. Which of these is a non-flowering plant?
2. Which pigment gives leaves their green color?

Frequently asked questions

Does my child need to memorise habitat lists?

Not lists. What is assessed is matching a feature to a reason - thick fur for cold, webbed feet for water - so understanding a few clear examples beats memorising many.

How is this different from the Grade 3 sheet on the same topic?

Grade 3 names parts and habitats; Grade 4 explains adaptation, food chains, seed dispersal and self-defence, and expects a reason with each answer.

Which way should food-chain arrows point?

From the organism being eaten towards the one eating it, because the arrow shows energy moving. Grass to grasshopper to frog, not the reverse.
