Teacher Notes:
Use this review worksheet to check basic understanding of animal characteristics, body systems, classification, habitats, and adaptations. Suggested use: warm-up, independent practice, review station, or quick formative assessment. Differentiation: support struggling learners with word banks or partner reading; challenge advanced learners to justify answers with examples from real animals or local ecosystems.

#	Answer	Explanation
1	Animals need energy from food.	All animals are consumers, so they must get energy by eating other organisms.
2	Birds	Feathers are a key characteristic of birds.
3	False	Reptiles have dry scales, not fur.
4	Gills	Gills take oxygen from water.
5	Fish and amphibians	Fish live in water, and many amphibians live in water for part of their life cycle.
6	Dog = mammal, frog = amphibian, eagle = bird, snake = reptile	Each animal belongs to a vertebrate group based on its traits.
7	Lizard	Lizards are reptiles and have scales; rabbits are mammals.
8	puppy	Young dogs are called puppies.
9	To support the body and protect organs	The skeleton gives shape, support, and protection.
10	Ant	Ants do not have a backbone.
11	True	Milk production is a defining mammal trait.
12	Herbivores	Herbivores get energy from plants.
13	Omnivores	Omnivores eat a mix of plant and animal matter.
14	A camel can store fat in its hump / conserve water / tolerate heat	Desert adaptations help camels survive with limited water and high temperatures.
15	It helps keep the bear warm.	Thick fur reduces heat loss in cold climates.
16	Pond	Frogs need moist habitats and often live near freshwater.
17	To find food, warmer weather, or better nesting places	Migration helps animals survive changing seasons.
18	producers	Plants make their own food; animals do not.
19	A way an animal blends in with its surroundings	Camouflage helps animals avoid predators or catch prey.

21	Protection, finding food, or caring for young	Group living can improve survival.
22	True	Many amphibians lay eggs in water and have aquatic young.

27	habitat	A habitat is the natural home of an organism.
28	Beak	Bird beaks are shaped for different kinds of food.
29	It may struggle to find food, shelter, and survive; its population may decrease	Habitat loss can reduce survival and reproduction.
30	Answers will vary; example: fish live in rivers, lakes, or oceans.	Different animals live in different habitats.
31	A species at risk of extinction	Endangered species have very low numbers or major threats.
32	The shell helps protect the egg from drying out	Shells help embryos survive outside water.
33	Predator	A predator is an animal that hunts another animal.

39	It has a streamlined body, fins, and gills to move and breathe in water.	These features help fish swim efficiently and survive underwater.
40	Answers will vary; example: A cat has sharp claws that help it climb and catch prey.	Good answers connect a body feature to survival.
