KS1 Science: Living Things and Their Habitats — Deep Revision
Thorough KS1 living things and habitats revision: living/dead sorting, food chains, real micro-habitat exploration and interdependence reasoning tasks.
KS1 Science: Living Things and Their Habitats — Deep Revision is a thorough activity book mapped to the DfE National Curriculum for Year 2. Sections 1-2 secure recall with around sixteen auto-marked questions on sorting living, dead and never-alive things, what habitats provide, naming real plants and animals in their habitats and micro-habitats, and following simple food chains. Sections 3-5 are open, investigative tasks: exploring a real micro-habitat a learner could visit, building and explaining an original food chain from a habitat they know, and explaining how a habitat meets an animal’s basic needs and how living things depend on each other. A full worked answer key, including model answers and marking notes for the open sections, is included alongside teacher, parent and pupil guidance.

This book takes a deep look at living things and habitats. Sections 1-2 check your living/dead sorting, habitat basics, naming and food chains, and I’ll mark those for you straight away. Sections 3-5 are open — exploring a real micro-habitat, building your own food chain, and explaining how a habitat meets an animal’s needs. Write your answers in full sentences so they make sense later. Answer on screen or print the whole book to work through slowly on paper.
This is a thorough KS1 living things and habitats revision workbook. The first two sections are self-marking recall on living/dead sorting, habitats and food chains. The last three sections are open-ended — exploring a real micro-habitat, building an original food chain, and explaining how a habitat meets an animal’s needs — and are best talked through together rather than marked right or wrong. Allow around 45 minutes, in one sitting or split across a few days, and consider doing Section 3 alongside a real look outdoors.
A deep-revision book for DfE Year 2 science, Living Things and Their Habitats. Sections 1-2 hold sixteen auto-marked questions on living/dead/never-alive sorting, what habitats provide, naming real plants and animals in habitats and micro-habitats, and simple food chains. Sections 3-5 are open, non-auto-marked tasks: exploring a real, local micro-habitat; constructing and explaining an original food chain; and explaining how a habitat meets an animal’s basic needs and how living things depend on each other. Useful as an end-of-unit consolidation, a fieldwork follow-up, or a greater-depth reasoning task.
Sections 1-2 are checked together with the "Check my answers" button, which marks every response and gives feedback. Sections 3-5 are open investigative and writing tasks that are not auto-marked — check them against the model answers and marking notes on the answer sheet.
