Living Things & Habitats KS1 is a five-mission Year 2 science activity book mapped to the DfE National Curriculum for living things and their habitats. Children sort things that are living, dead or have never been alive, learn that a habitat is a home that gives an animal food, water and shelter, match animals to common habitats such as pond, woodland, seaside and garden, explore a microhabitat under a log, and follow a simple food chain that begins with a plant. Every question is auto-marked on screen, or the whole book can be printed with a full answer key. Includes teacher, parent and pupil notes and is fully SEND-friendly with high-contrast and large-text modes.
A one-page printable worksheet covering all four bullet points of the Y2 “Living things and their habitats” PoS. Living/dead/never-alive sorting, matching animals to habitats, drawing a simple three-link food chain, and an outdoor microhabitat hunt activity for the weekend.
A 10-question multiple-choice quiz spanning the four bullet points of the Y2 PoS. Best-of-N personal best.
A 4-slide guide for parents. Slide 1: what Year 2 covers in this topic. Slide 2: a 5-stop microhabitat walk (front garden, park bench, tree base, stream/pond, under a stone). Slide 3: prompting questions that build scientific thinking. Slide 4: when to ask the teacher about further reading.
A teacher-facing assessment grid. Each of the four PoS bullet points is broken down into “developing / expected / greater depth” descriptors with examples of pupil response at each level. Use to inform end-of-unit teacher assessment.
