About this worksheet
3rd Grade Animal Structures and Functions Worksheet
Why does a giraffe have such a long neck? This worksheet introduces two key science words: a structure is a body part, and its function is the job it does. Using the exact examples from the Texas standard, a giraffe's neck and a duck's webbed feet, students learn how body parts help animals survive, then match talons and fins to their jobs too.
