Where Plants and Animals Live
Habitat is a place where plants and animals can
meet their needs.
Animals get food, water, and shelter from their
habitat.

Life in a Woodland Forest
A woodland forest is a habitat that gets enough
rain and sunlight for trees to grow well.
When birds migrate in the fall they move to
warmer places.
4
The four seasons of a woodland forest are
spring, summer, fall, and winter.
In the spring animals have their young, and
leaves began to grow on trees.
In the summer animals find a lot of food, and the
leaves are green on trees.
5
In the fall plant seeds stick to animals, and
leaves on the trees began to change colors.
In the winter some animals go into a deep sleep,
and most trees do not have any leaves.
6
Life in a Rain Forest
A rain forest is a habitat where it rains almost
every day.
Animals use trees and plants for food and shelter.
7
Life in a Desert
A desert gets less rain in a year than most
plants and animals need to live.
Many animals hide below ground or under rocks to
keep cool.

Pole, where snow is on the ground for much of the
year.

Plants grow low to the grow in the summer in the
Arctic.
