Picture match - Animal habitats

The "Picture match - Animal habitats" activity is an engaging educational exercise designed to help students understand the concept of habitats and the reasons why various animals choose specific environments to live in. In this activity, participants are presented with a list of animals including birds, goldfish, bears, dolphins, skylarks, cows, humans, and salmon. Their task is to match each animal to its appropriate habitat by connecting the given numbers that represent different animals to the corresponding numbers linked to their natural living spaces.

Students are awarded two points for each correct match they make, incentivising accuracy and careful consideration. They are allowed a time frame of 10 minutes to complete the task, which encourages quick thinking and decision-making. This activity not only tests students' knowledge of animal habitats but also prompts them to consider the underlying reasons why animals are suited to and choose specific habitats over others. The activity is a fun and interactive way to deepen students' understanding of the natural world and the diverse living conditions of different species.
