Animals Habitat and Food (Class 3)

What this worksheet covers

This is a fifteen-question practice worksheet on animals — habitat and food for Class 3, written to the pattern of the SOF National Science Olympiad (NSO). It carries 21 marks and is designed to be attempted in 40 minutes, split across three sections — Scientific Reasoning, Applying What You Know and Achievers Section. Every question is multiple choice with exactly one correct option, and every one comes with a fully worked solution rather than just an answer key — so a child who gets one wrong can see where the reasoning went astray instead of only learning that it did.

Sample questions from this worksheet

A preview of what's inside Animals Habitat and Food (Class 3) — the PDF has the full set, and every question comes with a worked solution like these.

1. 1. The place where an animal naturally lives is called its _______.

   • AHabitatcorrect
   • BBurrow
   • CShelter
   • DRegion
   Solution: A habitat is the natural home of a plant or animal, where it finds food, water and shelter — a pond, a forest or a desert, for example.

2. 2. Study the food chain and answer the question that follows. Which organism is the producer?

   • ABird
   • BCaterpillar
   • CLeavescorrect
   • DCat
   Solution: A producer makes its own food. Every food chain begins with a green plant, so the producer here is the leaves. The caterpillar, bird and cat are all consumers, because they must eat something else.

3. 3. Consider the following statements.(i) All animals that live in water breathe through gills.(ii) A tadpole lives in water but an adult frog can live on land.(iii) Carnivores have sharp, pointed teeth for tearing flesh.Which of the statements is/are correct?

   • A(i) and (ii) only
   • B(ii) and (iii) onlycorrect
   • C(i) and (iii) only
   • DAll three
   Solution: Statement (i) is false — whales, dolphins and turtles live in water but breathe air with lungs. Statement (ii) is true; the tadpole loses its gills and tail as it becomes a frog. Statement (iii) is true. Hence (ii) and (iii).
