Habitats are specific places where plants, animals, and other organisms live and thrive. A habitat provides everything an organism needs to survive, including food, water, and shelter.
Environments refer to the broader surroundings in which living and non-living things interact. They include both natural elements, like air, water, and soil, and human-made factors, such as cities or farms.
These concepts are fundamental to understanding the natural world and how life is interconnected. From matching and word searches to writing prompts and search and finds, these worksheets aim to make learning these concepts feel like fun.

An ecosystem is a community of living things, such as plants, animals, and microorganisms, interacting with each other and their environment, including non-living elements like air, water, and soil. These interactions create a balance that helps sustain life in a particular area, whether it’s a forest, ocean, desert, or even a backyard garden.
