Definition: Conditions suitable for an organism or population of organisms to live.
Alright class, settle down and let’s take a look! Today we’re tackling a really important word – “habitat.” You’ve read the dictionary definition, which is pretty clear, but let's break it down with a little rhyme: “Habitat” means a place to be, Where creatures live for you and me. It’s more than just a spot, you see, It’s everything that helps them be ! Think about it like this: A fish needs water deep and blue, A bird needs branches, strong and true. A rabbit needs grass to nibble with glee, That's all part of its habitat, you agree? The dictionary says "conditions suitable," and that’s exactly right! It means the environment – the air, the water, the food, the shelter - it has to be just right for an animal or group of animals to thrive. So, a habitat isn't just where something lives; it’s how they live and what they need to survive. Now, let's think about some examples… Can anyone name a few different habitats they know?
