==Key Stage 1=====Meaning===A '''habitat''' is the place where a creature lives.: Singular [[Noun]]: '''Habitat''': Plural [[Noun]]: '''Habitats'''===About Habitats===There are lots of different '''habitats'''. Some important ones to know are: : Arctic: Coast: Desert: Forest: Grassland: Mountain: River: Sea Each '''habitat''' can have [[Micro-Habitats|micro-habitats]] where the creature survives best. Like mushrooms that live on a [[tree]] in a forest, woodlice that live underneath a rotting log in the forest or meerkats that live underground in grassland. ===Examples==={| class="wikitable"|-|[[File:PolarBear.png|center|150px]]|[[File:Seaweed.png|center|150px]]|[[File:Camel.png|center|150px]]|[[File:Monkey.png|center|150px]]|-| style="height:20px; width:150px; text-align:center;" |Polar bears live in an arctic '''habitat'''.| style="height:20px; width:150px; text-align:center;" |The '''habitat''' for seaweed is the coast.| style="height:20px; width:150px; text-align:center;" |Camels live in a desert '''habitat'''.| style="height:20px; width:150px; text-align:center;" |The '''habitat''' that monkeys live in is a forest.|-|[[File:Buffalo.png|center|150px]]|[[File:MountainGoat.png|center|150px]]|[[File:Trout.png|center|150px]]|[[File:Octopus.png|center|150px]]|-| style="height:20px; width:150px; text-align:center;" |One type of [[animal]] that lives in a grassland '''habitat''' is buffalo.| style="height:20px; width:150px; text-align:center;" |Mountains are an ideal '''habitat''' for mountain goats and snow leopards.| style="height:20px; width:150px; text-align:center;" |The best '''habitat''' for a trout is a lake or river.| style="height:20px; width:150px; text-align:center;" |An octopus cannot survive long outside its natural '''habitat'''; the sea.|} ==Key Stage 2=====Meaning===A '''habitat''' is the type of place where creatures live. ===About Habitats===: A '''habitat''' might not have the same conditions all the time.: '''Habitats''' can change throughout the year. *Desert '''habitats''' can have a wet season when it rains.*Arctic '''habitats''' can get warmer in summer and all the ice and snow can melt.*Grassland '''habitats''' can have a wet season where the flood and a dry season where the animals don't have enough water.: Most '''habitats''' change temperature and rainfall in different [[Season|seasons]].: When a '''habitat''' changes the creatures that live in that '''habitat''' must be able to cope with the change.: If the change is too big or happens to quickly some types of creature livesin that '''habitat''' may die. ==Key Stage 3=====Meaning===A [[habitat]] is the place where an [[organism]] is best suited to live. ==Key Stage 4=====Meaning===A [[habitat]] is the physical environment of an [[ecosystem]] where a [[community]] of [[organism]]s live. ===About Habitats===: [[Organism]]s within a [[habitat]] are [[adaptation|adapted]] to suit that [[habitat]].: The [[organism]]s that are best suited for a [[habitat]] are more likely to survive and [[Reproduction|reproduce]]. This is called [[Survival of the Fittest|survival of the fittest]].: [[Habitat]]s can be changed by [[human]] activity. Global warming is changing the [[habitat]]s of different [[organism]]s faster than they can [[Evolution|evolve]] [[adaptation]]s to suit the new environment. ===References=======AQA==== :[https://www.amazon.co.uk/gp/product/0008158754/ref=as_li_tl?ie=UTF8&camp=1634&creative=6738&creativeASIN=0008158754&linkCode=as2&tag=nrjc-21&linkId=27ad53b0283feeff7fc5ae04a9e205f365 ''Habitat, pages 64-5, 324-5, 362-3, GCSE Biology; Student Book, Collins, AQA '']:[https://www.amazon.co.uk/gp/product/1782945563/ref=as_li_tl?ie=UTF8&camp=1634&creative=6738&creativeASIN=1782945563&linkCode=as2&tag=nrjc-21&linkId=9a1d023a374038e6072f33c4f3cf808b ''Habitats, page 106, GCSE Biology; The Revision Guide, CGP, AQA '']:[https://www.amazon.co.uk/gp/product/1782946381/ref=as_li_tl?ie=UTF8&camp=1634&creative=6738&creativeASIN=1782946381&linkCode=as2&tag=nrjc-21&linkId=5ec5fc3f6429e30c1d9ab9bca2bccf93 ''Habitats, page 255, GCSE Combined Science Trilogy; Biology, CGP, AQA '']:[https://www.amazon.co.uk/gp/product/1782945954/ref=as_li_tl?ie=UTF8&camp=1634&creative=6738&creativeASIN=1782945954&linkCode=as2&tag=nrjc-21&linkId=100574c08fbbb64318256eb79ed61a76 ''Habitats, page 315, GCSE Biology, CGP, AQA '']:[https://www.amazon.co.uk/gp/product/1782945598/ref=as_li_tl?ie=UTF8&camp=1634&creative=6738&creativeASIN=1782945598&linkCode=as2&tag=nrjc-21&linkId=ad276ad49df77ab4b40ab4fd0fe09975 ''Habitats, page 83, GCSE Combined Science; The Revision Guide, CGP, AQA ''] ====Edexcel==== :[https://www.amazon.co.uk/gp/product/1292120193/ref=as_li_tl?ie=UTF8&camp=1634&creative=6738&creativeASIN=1292120193&linkCode=as2&tag=nrjc-21&linkId=572df39392fb4200db8391d98ae6314e ''Habitats, page 124, GCSE Combined Science, Pearson Edexcel '']:[https://www.amazon.co.uk/gp/product/1292120207/ref=as_li_tl?ie=UTF8&camp=1634&creative=6738&creativeASIN=1292120207&linkCode=as2&tag=nrjc-21&linkId=22455ff53961978667722edaa64c0be5 ''Habitats, page 176, GCSE Biology, Pearson, Edexcel ''] ====OCR====:[https://www.amazon.co.uk/gp/product/0198359810/ref=as_li_tl?ie=UTF8&camp=1634&creative=6738&creativeASIN=0198359810&linkCode=as2&tag=nrjc-21&linkId=d768d99f1a06f7c12fab40e5aef85a55 ''Habitats, page 130, Gateway GCSE Biology, Oxford, OCR '']:[https://www.amazon.co.uk/gp/product/1782945695/ref=as_li_tl?ie=UTF8&camp=1634&creative=6738&creativeASIN=1782945695&linkCode=as2&tag=nrjc-21&linkId=ceafcc80bcad6b6754ee97a0c7ceea53 ''Habitats, page 41, Gateway GCSE Combined Science; The Revision Guide, CGP, OCR '']
