A Pond Is Everyone's Home

with Atlas

Atlas the friendly explorer kneels by a sunny green pond, pointing at cattails, a frog, a duck, and busy bees over flowers.

Name a habitat as the home where plants and animals live together.
Identify two plants and three animals that share one pond habitat.
Explain one way an animal needs a plant to live.
Explain one way the home gives plants and animals what they need.

Key terms

habitat: The home where plants and animals live together.
nectar: The sweet liquid inside flowers that bees drink.
shelter: A safe place where an animal can rest and hide.
depend on: To need something else in order to live.

A Pond Is A Habitat

A habitat is the home where many plants and animals live together. A pond is a great example of a habitat. In and around the pond you can find cattail plants growing tall, flowers near the water, and animals like frogs, ducks, and bees. All of these living things share the same home. A habitat gives the living things space, water, and food, so they can survive in one place together.

Animals Depend On Plants

The plants and animals in a pond need each other to live; this is called depending on each other. The duck eats green pond plants for its food. The bee drinks sweet nectar from a flower and helps the flower too. The frog hides under a plant or rock at the water's edge to stay cool and safe from danger. Without the plants, the pond animals would have nowhere to eat or hide.

The Home Gives What They Need

A habitat does more than hold living things; it gives them what they need to survive. At the pond, the sun gives light and warmth, the water gives every living thing a drink, and the soft mud gives animals a place to rest. Plants drink the pond water and soak up the sunlight to grow. So plants, animals, and their home all work together as one connected community.

Worked examples

How does a frog use the pond plants?

A frog needs to stay safe from animals that might eat it.
Plants and rocks at the water's edge give the frog a place to hide.
So the frog uses the plants as shelter to stay safe and cool.

Answer: The frog hides among the plants for shelter and safety.

Why would a cactus not live at the pond?

A cactus is a desert plant that needs dry, sandy ground.
A pond habitat is wet and muddy, not dry like a desert.
Since the pond home does not match what a cactus needs, it lives elsewhere.

Answer: A cactus needs a dry desert habitat, not a wet pond.

Hi! I am Atlas. Today we visit a pond. A pond is a home. A home for living things is called a habitat. Look around. I see cattail plants growing tall. I see green flowers close to the water. I see a frog, a duck, and many bees. Plants and animals all live here together. They need each other. The duck eats the green plants. The bee drinks sweet nectar from a flower. The frog hides under a rock at the water's edge to stay safe and cool. So the animals need the plants and the pond home! The home helps too. The sun gives light. The water gives a drink. The mud gives a soft place to rest. Plants drink the water and soak up the sun to grow. So plants, animals, and their home all work together. If you forget who lives here, just look at the picture and name what you see!

Activity

Sort each picture card: does it live at the pond, or does it live somewhere else?

Practice

Tell one way the duck depends on the pond plants to live.

Decide whether a polar bear would live at the pond or somewhere else.

Common mistakes to avoid

A habitat is only a home for peopleA habitat is the shared home for plants and animals, not just a house built for people.
Pond animals live all by themselvesPond animals share their habitat and depend on the plants, water, and each other to stay alive.

Check your understanding

What is a habitat?

At the pond, how does the duck need the plants?

Do plants and animals at the pond live all alone, with no one else?

Recap

A pond is a habitat, the shared home where plants and animals live together. The animals depend on the plants for food and shelter, and the home gives sunlight, water, and a place to rest, so they all work together.

Reflect

What animals and plants share the habitat near where you live?
