Dwire+January+Social+Science+Week+1

This month we are going to talk about different kinds of environments and the plants or animals that live there. We are going to discuss what a habitat is, and also what a coast, mountain, and stream are.

A habitat is the part of an environment (which is everything around us) where a plant or animal lives.







A stream is a small river.

A mountain is a high part of the Earth’s surface.

A coast is a land and water habitat along the ocean. Do we have a coast where we live?

This week, we are going to talk about a coastal habitat.



A coast can be cold and rocky. Many living and nonliving things are found in a coast habitat. A coast habitat has air, salty water, sand, rocks, plants, and animals.

Plants and animals have parts that help them to live there.















Lets think about our coast or beach. Can it be cold? Is the water cold? What kinds of animals do we see at the beach?

Many animals that live on the coast have thick skin or fur to help keep them warm.

What would it be like if we lived in the cold water on the coast? Do you think we would be cold?
