Animals Around Us

Many animals live around us: birds in the sky, dogs on the ground, and fish in the water. Animals group by where they live and by how many legs they have. Pick a habitat with the slider and the animals that live there come into view. Sorting by number of legs shows what animals in the same group share.

Where Do Animals Live?

Sky
🌟 Animals Have Addresses Too!
①Some animals live on land, some in water
②Some fly in the sky, some live underground
③Animals in the same place share many things!

Sort by Number of Legs

Summary

🎯 Animal Classification Summary
①Sort by number of legs (0, 2, 4, 6+)
②Sort by where they live (land, water, sky, underground)

④Observing animals reveals fun discoveries!

Examples and Unit Test

Example 1
If we sort a snake, a bird, a dog, and an ant by the number of legs, how many legs does each have?
1
We can sort animals by leg count. A snake has no legs, and a bird has 2 legs.
2
A dog has 4 legs, and an ant has 6 legs.
▸ Snake 0 · bird 2 · dog 4 · ant 6
Grouping animals with the same number of legs makes them easy to classify.
Example 2
Where do a fish and a bird each live, and what do they move with?
1
A fish lives in water and swims with fins.
2
A bird flies in the sky and moves with wings.
▸ Fish = water, fins / bird = sky, wings
Animals have body shapes that fit the place where they live.
Unit Test
Which animal has 6 legs?
①Snake
②Dog
③Ant
④Bird
⑤Fish
▸ ③ Ant
1
A snake and a fish have no legs, a bird has 2, and a dog has 4.
2
An ant is an insect, so it has 6 legs.
