A DepEd-BEAM Distance Learning Program supported by the Australian Agency for International Development
 Let Us Learn
Animals are around us. We see different kinds of animals everyday.
Some animals are big, some are small, some are friendly and some are not.
Animals are our friends. In this lesson, you will know more about these
animals.

Let’s Think It Over

There are many animals we can see in our place or locality. They can
be grouped into classifications like a. animals that live in the house, b.
animals in the farm and c. animals that fly.

Animals that are not of the same kind have similarities in some of
their ways. But mostly animals of different kinds differ in their ways.
This lesson is focused on the different kinds of animals and their
differences.

Let’s Try

Complete the table below.

 Where does each animal live?
 What does each animal use for moving?

Let’s Study

Observe different kinds of animals in your place. Are they all the
same or different? Why? Why not?

Fish lives in water. It swims, has scales for its body covering and
eats marine plants and small fishes.

Birds live in trees or stay in air most of the time. They fly, have
feathers and eat both plants and small insects.
 Snake lives on land. It crawls, has scales and eats other animals.

Lions live in forest. They run or walk, have fur and eat other
animals.

Goats live on land. They run or walk, have fur and eat plants.
Thus:
 Different kinds of animals differ in many ways. They differ on
their habitats. The way they move, body coverings and the
food that they eat.

Let Us Do These Again

animals around you. Write the names of the animals
