As we know, rivers provide water for people, animals, and plants. Many people enjoy living near rivers as they can use them in many ways. People use the water for growing different foods, drinking, and even transportation! How convenient is that! Now let's think about what other things you think people can do around water!

Question for class: Friends, what activities do you think people do near rivers?

We know that fish swim in the water, birds grab their lunch from the water, and special plants grow alongside the water banks.

Now can you name three animals that live in or near rivers?

But friends did you know that people live in special places where there's tons of sand and very little rain? They build special houses to stay cool and have discovered ways to store water.

Let's Think: What are some ways you stay cool on a hot day? What are some ways you think these people remained cool?

Cacti store water inside their thick stems and some animals like camels can survive days without drinking. I know we couldn't! To remain cool, some animals sleep during the hot day and come out at night when it's much cooler.

Let's Think: What special things help desert animals survive?

People use wood to build homes and also find lots of food such as berries and nuts. The trees also give people clean air to breathe!

How fun is that? Bears find berries and eat them, squirrels make homes in trees, and birds build nests way up in the branches. Even tiny critters have important jobs in the forest! The forest is such a busy place!

Activity: Can you and your group make the sounds of three forest animals?
