Living things grow and change!

Every living thing — a plant, an animal, or you — needs certain things to survive and grow. Scientists study exactly what those needs are.

Plants need three things to grow: sunlight, water, and air — a lot like how YOU need food, sleep, and care to grow big and strong!

Three things every plant needs: sunlight, water, and air
Let’s talk
  • What is one thing that helps YOU grow big and strong?
  • What do you think a tiny seed needs to become a big plant?
Try it

Grow like a plant! Curl up small like a seed, then slowly grow tall, reaching your arms up toward the sunshine. How big can you grow?

All living things share the same basic needs — energy, water, and a place to live. Scientists call the place where something lives its habitat.

Three habitats: forest, ocean, and desert
Let’s talk
  • What is your favorite place — your own “habitat” — to relax or learn?
  • What might happen to an animal if its habitat changed or disappeared?
Try it

With a partner, pick an animal and name its habitat. Then list two things that habitat gives the animal to help it survive.
