Grade 2 students explore animal behaviors and the reasons they matter in this science worksheet. Nine fill in the blank sentences cover hibernation, migration, camouflage, storing food, hunting at night, and fast running. A matching activity then links four behaviors to the needs they meet, like saving energy or hiding from predators, showing how these smart animal actions help different creatures survive in changing seasons across many habitats.
Style:
Habitats & Ecosystems
Part A: Fill in the Blank
Write the missing word or number on each line.
1. A bear sleeps all winter long. This is called hibernation.
2. Geese fly south in the fall to find warm weather. This is called migration.
3. A green grasshopper is hard to see in the grass because of its camouflage.
4. A chipmunk stores nuts in the fall to eat during winter.
5. An owl hunts at night when mice come out of hiding.
6. A rabbit runs very fast to escape a fox.
7. A duck has waterproof feathers so it stays dry while swimming.
8. A turtle pulls its head into its shell when it feels scared.
9. Bees work together in a hive to make honey.
Part B: Matching
Match each item on the left to the correct answer on the right.
