1. Exploring Life in Nature

   Wild animals live freely in nature without human help. Each animal has a special home called a habitat. A habitat provides animals with food, water, and shelter.

   Common Natural Habitats

   • Forest: A large area covered with trees and plants. Animals like bears, deer, and owls live here.
   • Savannah (Grasslands): Warm and open areas with tall grass and few trees. Lions, giraffes, and zebras live here.
   • Desert: Very dry and hot areas with very little water. Camels, scorpions, and snakes live here.
   • Ocean: Deep saltwater covering most of the Earth. Sharks, whales, and dolphins live here.
   • Polar Region: Freezing cold regions covered with ice and snow. Polar bears, penguins, and seals live here.

   Organizing Information for Writing

   Before writing an animal fact file or paragraph, researchers collect facts in a data table. Look at how information is clearly organized:

   • Animal: African Elephant
   • Habitat: Savannah and tropical forests
   • Diet: Herbivore (grass, leaves, bark, fruits)
   • Features: Long trunk, large ears, grey skin
   • Daily Activity: Roams in herds and drinks lots of water

   We can turn this information into clear sentences:

   The African elephant is a wild animal. It lives in the savannah and tropical forests. It eats plants and leaves. It has a long trunk and large ears.
