In Needs of Plants and Animals students explore the phenomenon that all animals need food to live and grow and that all animals obtain their food from plants or other animals. Students also come to understand that plants need air, water, and light to live and grow and that living things need water, air, and resources from the land and that they live in places that have the things they need. Humans use natural resources for everything they do. Students describe the needs of plants and animals and their relationship with the local habitat as well as identify ways landscapes can be transformed into a habitat for plants and animals.

About This Book
All living things need resources such as water, air, and food to survive. These important natural resources are a part of the places that plants and animals, including humans, live. Even though different living things can live in vastly different environments, the basic resources they need are the same. Through investigation, students will use what they learn to discover what plants and animals need from their different habitats.
Engineers and engineering designers use knowledge of the properties of matter as they use materials in design solutions to make things that are useful to people. This series of lessons incorporates learning goals that support the principles and practices of engineering design, such as defining problems, testing materials, and evaluating possible solutions.
