Assess students' understanding of how local habitats (e.g., yard, pond, meadow, tree) provide food, water, shelter, and space for animals. Include tasks to identify common local habitats and their resident animals, match animals to the specific need each habitat fulfills, and explain or draw one way seasonal change or simple human actions can increase or reduce these resources. Use observation, sorting, and short explanatory responses appropriate for Pre-K–Grade 2.
