Habitat

Target Language or Knowledge:

All organisms have a place they call home. It is called their habitat. The habitat of an organism is their address. For example your habitat is your home, school and community. Every living thing has particular needs and will only live where those needs are met by the resources available in the habitat. Some of the resources a habitat must provide for an organism to survive and reproduce include: food, water, shelter and living space, a suitable temperature, mating partners for reproduction, gases such as oxygen. The needs of living things can be divided into two types. Biotic factors These are living factors such as partners for mating, organisms to eat, organisms they may compete with for food and shelter. Abiotic factors These are non-living factors that include light, wind, soil, air and temperature. The number of organisms of the same type living in the same habitat will vary over time depending on the availability of food, water, living space and mating partners.
