Nookling — What Makes a Habitat Homefinder Camp
Hi!
I'm Nookling.
Welcome to Homefinder Camp!
Will you help me investigate what makes a habitat?
The Grumblies have mixed up our clues.
Let's check the evidence!
A habitat is the place and conditions in which an organism lives.
It includes access to food, water, air, shelter and space,
not only a nest.
Is a habitat only a nest?
- A. No
- B. Yes
- C. Only for birds
The answer is A: No
A habitat is the place and conditions in which an organism lives.
It includes access to food, water, air, shelter and space,
not only a nest.
That clue helps us make sense of this place.
Different organisms need different combinations of conditions.
A place that suits one animal may not suit another.
What should we compare with a proposed habitat?
- A. Only its favorite-looking color
- B. Only the prettiest scenery
- C. The organism's full needs
The answer is C: The organism's full needs
A habitat is the place and conditions in which an organism lives.
It includes access to food, water, air, shelter and space,
not only a nest.
Hmm...
how does that connect to our first clue?
Our record describes an animal needing insects, fresh water
and protected resting spaces.
A decorative empty nest alone does not meet the whole list;
the nearby habitat must supply the rest.
What is missing from an empty nest alone?
- A. A longer place name
- B. Evidence of food and water access
- C. A fancy habitat name
The answer is B: Evidence of food and water access
A habitat is the place and conditions in which an organism lives.
It includes access to food, water, air, shelter and space,
not only a nest.
