Habitats and Adaptions - Grasslands

Session Outline

This session introduces the term ‘habitat’ with a detailed look at the ‘Grasslands’ habitat in particular.

Children will understand what basic requirements animals, including humans, need in their habitats to survive.

The session will briefly look at other habitats found in Africa, including rainforests and deserts, to show how habitats can vary. Children will learn that animals are adapted to the habitat they live in.

Using animal artefacts, the session will use examples of animals found in African grasslands to show adaptations of different animals from the same habitat.
