Sorting Out Needs: A Hands-On Science Activity for Little Learners. If you’re working on animal and plant needs with your 1st or 2nd graders, this cut-and-paste worksheet is a fun, no-prep way to reinforce those essential science concepts.
What’s included:
✔ 1 simple, printable worksheet
✔ 5 picture-based examples of animal needs (like food, water, shelter)
✔ 5 picture-based examples of plant needs (like sunlight and soil)
✔ Easy-to-read words and visuals designed for early readers
✔ Clear directions your students can follow independently
This resource is perfect for:
– Science centers
– Interactive science notebooks (just cut, sort, and glue!)
– Quick review sessions
– Early finishers or no-prep sub plans
I’ve used this as part of our interactive notebooks, and my kiddos loved choosing where to place each picture. It sparked great conversations too—like “Do plants really need sunlight?” How do you teach about needs in your classroom? Could this be a helpful addition to your science block?
