Survival: A First Grade Science Topic

Welcome to our study on survival! In this topic, we will explore the basic needs of living things and how they adapt to their environments to survive.

Lesson 1: What Living Things Need to Survive

Living things, including plants and animals, have basic needs to survive. These needs include:

During this lesson, we will learn about the importance of these basic needs and how living things obtain them in their environments.

Living things have special characteristics and behaviors that help them survive in their environments. These are called adaptations. Some examples of adaptations include:

• Camouflage
• Hibernation
• Migration
• Thick fur or feathers for insulation

During this lesson, we will explore different types of adaptations and how they help living things survive in their habitats.
