These worksheets help kindergartners identify and compare what plants and animals need to survive. Children learn that both need water and sunlight, while animals also need food and shelter. Understanding shared needs builds empathy for living things and a foundation for ecology.
When do kindergartners learn about the needs of living things?⌄
Basic needs of living things are a core part of kindergarten science standards and are typically introduced early in the life science unit. The concept ties directly into lessons on plants, animals, and habitats.
