Who Lives Here? Animal Habitat Task Cards

Bring your science lessons to life with this hands-on, printable set of Who Lives Here? Animal Habitat Task Cards! 

Perfect for upper elementary students, these Who Lives Here? Animal Habitat Task Cards help young scientists explore the roles of different organisms in a variety of habitats while developing observation and classification skills.

Identify the Producers, Consumers, and Decomposers in Each Habitat

This engaging task card pack includes 24 high-quality habitat photographs, each labeled for easy reference. Students will:

  • Label visible producers such as plants and algae.
  • List possible consumers that rely on the producers or other animals for food.
  • Identify decomposers that recycle nutrients back into the ecosystem.

These cards encourage research, critical thinking, and discussion as students analyze local and global habitats, making connections between producers, consumers, and decomposers in each habitat
