This document discusses different land habitats including woodland forests, rain forests, deserts, and the Arctic. It describes key characteristics of each habitat, such as woodland forests receiving enough rain for trees to grow well and rain forests receiving rain almost daily. Different habitats provide plants and animals with food, water, and shelter.

2. Where Plants and Animals Live
Habitat is a place where plants and animals can
meet their needs.
Animals get food, water, and shelter from
their habitat.

3. Life in a Woodland Forest
A woodland forest is a habitat that gets enough
rain and sunlight for trees to grow well.
When birds migrate in the fall
they move to warmer places.

4. The four seasons of a woodland forest are:
spring, summer, fall, and winter.
In the spring animals
have their young, and
leaves began to grow
on trees.
In the summer
animals find a lot of
food, and the
leaves are green
on trees.

5. In the fall plant seeds
stick to animals, and
leaves on the trees
began to change
colors.
In the winter some
animals go into a
deep sleep, and
most trees do not
have any leaves.

6. Life in a Rain Forest
A rain forest is a habitat where it rains
almost every day.
Animals use trees and plants for food and
shelter.

7. Life in a Desert
A desert gets less rain in a year than most
plants and animals need to live.
Many animals hide below ground or under
rocks to keep cool.

8. Life in the Arctic
The Arctic is
a very cold
place, near the
North Pole,
where snow is
on the ground
for much of the
year.

9. Plants grow low to the grow in the summer
in the Arctic.
Animals migrate in the winter in the
Arctic to find food.

10. Habitat What It Is Like
Woodland Forest Enough rain for trees to grow
Rain Forest Rains every day and has many
trees and plants
Desert Hot and dry
Arctic Very cold place with snow on the
ground most of the year
