This interactive and printable worksheet introduces students to the essential needs of human survival. The activity begins with an informative passage that clearly outlines the five basic necessities for human life: food, water, air, shelter, and sleep. It provides a concise explanation of why each element is crucial for survival, helping students understand the importance of these fundamental needs. The text goes beyond simply listing the necessities, offering brief insights into how each element contributes to human health and well-being.
Following the educational content, the worksheet presents a practical application exercise. Students are shown a series of images representing various elements, including the essential needs discussed in the passage as well as non-essential items. The task challenges students to identify and circle only those images that represent true survival needs. This interactive component not only reinforces the information presented in the text but also encourages critical thinking as students must distinguish between necessities and non-essentials. By combining informative text with a hands-on activity, this worksheet effectively engages students in learning about basic human needs while developing their ability to apply this knowledge in a practical context.
