Parts of a Garden Snail, Read and Label

Have your child find each bold word in the passage before labeling the diagram. Ask what would happen if the animal lost that part. Check with the answer key.

Read about a garden snail, then label its shell, foot, tentacles, eyes and breathing hole. An animal's body parts are structures. Each structure has a job that helps the animal live. The directions on the page read: Read the passage. Look at the bold words that name the body parts. Then, turn the page to label the diagram and answer the questions. On page 2: In Part A, write each Word Bank word at the end of its leader. Then, circle the best answer for questions 1 and 2, and write answers 3 and 4 on the lines. The answer key covers the questions on page 2.

Yes, both. We made it for 4th Grade living things, and the page works the same whether it lands on a kitchen table or a center rotation. At home, most families go through it together and talk the answers out loud, and that talking is where most of the learning happens with animal structures. In class it runs well as independent work while you pull a small group. Print one copy or thirty, whichever the day needs.

Internal structures are inside the body, like bones, a heart, lungs and gills. External structures are on the outside, like fur, scales, a shell, claws and antennae. One sheet has students sort twelve cards into the two groups.

Birds, fish, a grasshopper, a garden snail, an earthworm, a jellyfish, a squid, a cheetah, a firefly, a lobster and a crocodile, plus two pages on animal structures and the inside of the body.

They support 4-LS1-1, which asks 4th graders to argue that plants and animals have internal and external structures that help them survive, grow, behave and reproduce. Each passage names a structure and its job.

15 printable worksheets, all free to preview. Downloads are included with a ClassWeekly free trial, and every page prints on standard 8.5 x 11 paper.

These are written for 4th Grade students, roughly ages 9-10. Many teachers also use them a grade up for review or a grade down as an extension, so use the preview to judge the fit for a particular child.

Yes. Each one shows the NGSS code it covers on its own page, so you can check the alignment yourself rather than taking our word for it.
