Hello friends! Today, we’re going to learn about different places where living things live. These places are called habitats. A habitat is a special place that has everything living beings need to survive, like light, water, temperature, soil, and oxygen. There are many different kinds of habitats because of these resources.
There are two main types of natural habitats: terrestrial (land) and aquatic (water). Let’s explore some terrestrial habitats first!
Wow, it’s really hot here! We’re in the desert. There’s a lot of sunlight, and it’s very warm. It doesn’t rain much, so water is hard to find. That’s why plants and animals here have special ways to save water. For example, cacti store water, and animals like scorpions, snakes, and camels can live here. Did you know there are cold deserts too? Everything is frozen there, and animals like polar bears have adapted to survive.
Next, let’s visit the jungle! Look at all the plants. The jungle is a place with lots of rain and warm temperatures, making it very humid. This helps many living things thrive. You might see orchids, hummingbirds, and even big cats like panthers or jaguars here!
Now, we’re in the woods. There are many trees like beech and pine, and shrubs like rock rose. Woods can be warm or cold, which changes the plants and animals you find. Bears and eagles live here, and it rains often. Watch out for storms!
Welcome to the prairie! This habitat has lots of grass and small plants. Animals like foxes and rodents live here. The prairie has cold winters and warm summers, making it a unique place.
Finally, let’s explore the savannah. It’s a dry place with little rain. There are two seasons: a dry, cool season and a rainy, warm season. During the rainy season, grass and trees like baobabs grow. You can find elephants, zebras, giraffes, lions, and cheetahs here.
We explored many land habitats today, but there are also water habitats to discover!
Now, let’s dive into aquatic habitats, which are places in water where living things thrive.
Rivers and lakes are freshwater habitats. You can find fish like trout and plants like water lilies here. These places are full of life!
Oceans and seas are saltwater habitats. They are home to many animals like whales, sharks, coral, and seahorses. Seaweed grows here too. Fish have gills to breathe underwater, and light is important for life in these habitats.
Today, we learned about freshwater and saltwater habitats. Let’s keep exploring!
Now, let’s learn about ecosystems. An ecosystem is a community of living things and the natural resources they need to live. Ecosystems can be big, like the Sahara Desert, or small, like a pond.
Ecosystems have two main parts: the biotope and the biosynosis. The biotope includes non-living things like soil, water, air, and temperature. The biosynosis is the living community, including plants, animals, and microorganisms.
There are natural ecosystems, like deserts and jungles, and artificial ecosystems, created by humans, like cities and farms. Natural ecosystems are important because they have unique plants and animals adapted to their environment.
Let’s help take care of our planet to protect these amazing ecosystems!
Did you enjoy learning about habitats and ecosystems? There’s so much more to discover, so keep exploring!
Habitat Scavenger Hunt: Go on a nature walk with a family member or friend in your neighborhood or a nearby park. Look for different types of habitats and the animals or plants that live there. Can you find a place that might be a home for a bird, a squirrel, or an insect? Draw a picture of what you see and share it with your class.
Create a Mini Ecosystem: With the help of an adult, create a small ecosystem in a jar or a clear container. Add soil, a small plant, and a few rocks. You can even add a small insect or a worm if you find one. Observe how the living and non-living parts interact. What do you notice about how the plant and the insect use the resources in their mini habitat?
Imagine Your Own Habitat: Think about a new kind of habitat that doesn’t exist on Earth. What would it look like? What kind of plants and animals would live there? Draw a picture of your imaginary habitat and write a few sentences about how the living things survive in this special place.
Sure! Here’s a sanitized version of the transcript:

Hello friends! Today we’re going to discover different places where living beings reside. These places are known as habitats. Did you know that we define a habitat as a place that has the necessary resources for living beings to survive? These resources include light, water, temperature, soil, and oxygen. Depending on these resources, we can find very different habitats.
There are two types of natural habitats: terrestrial and aquatic. Today, I’m going to explore terrestrial habitats. Are you coming with me?
**Desert**
Wow, it’s so hot here! Look, we’re in the desert. There’s a lot of light, and the temperature is very high. It rains very little in the desert, and water is scarce. For this reason, many animals and plants have developed strategies to conserve water. This cactus is an example. Animals like scorpions, snakes, and mammals like camels can live in the desert. Did you know that there are cold deserts too? Here, everything is frozen, and temperatures are extremely low. There are barely any plants in these habitats, but we can find some animals that have adapted to survive here, like the polar bear.
**Jungle**
Let’s continue our trip! Look at all the plants here. This habitat is the jungle, where there’s lots of rain and mild to warm temperatures. This creates a humid environment that supports many living beings. Let’s see what we can find here! Look, an orchid and a hummingbird! And that could be a panther or a jaguar. I think I’ll leave; I don’t want to be its dinner!
**Woods**
Now we’re in the woods. There’s plenty of vegetation here, mainly trees like beech and pine, along with shrubs like rock rose. Did you know that there are many types of woodlands? Their temperatures can vary from cold to warm, which affects the vegetation and animals found there. In the woods, we can find animals like bears and eagles. It rains often here too. I think that cloud means a storm is coming. Let’s continue our trip!
**Prairie**
We’ve just arrived at a prairie! This habitat is characterized by small plants like grass and animals like foxes and rodents. The climate in the prairie is humid, with cold winters and warm summers.
**Savannah**
Another habitat with little vegetation is the savannah. Savannahs are usually dry areas with very little rain. However, we can distinguish two periods: a dry season with low temperatures and a rainy season with warm temperatures. During the rainy season, we find grass, herbs, and some trees like baobabs. Among the animals, there are many herbivores like elephants, zebras, and giraffes, as well as carnivores like lions and cheetahs.
Today, we explored terrestrial habitats, including deserts, jungles, woods, prairies, and savannahs. But we still have aquatic habitats to visit! Don’t miss the next video. See you soon!
Hello again, friends! In the previous video, we talked about habitats. Do you remember what they are? A habitat is a place that has the necessary resources for living beings to survive. These resources include light, water, temperature, soil, and oxygen. Depending on these resources, we can find very different habitats. There are two types of natural habitats: terrestrial and aquatic. In the previous video, we explored terrestrial habitats. Today, we will be visiting aquatic habitats. Are you coming with us?
**Rivers and Lakes**
Rivers and lakes are freshwater habitats. Here, we can find many animals, including fish like trout, and small plants like water lilies.
**Oceans and Seas**
Oceans and seas are saltwater habitats. They host a great diversity of animals like whales, sharks, coral, and seahorses. There are also plants that grow in the sea, like seaweed. In aquatic habitats, living beings have adapted to carry out their activities underwater. For example, fish have gills that allow them to breathe underwater. Light is also an important resource in these habitats, but sometimes, due to pollution, it cannot reach deep enough to the bottom of rivers, lakes, or oceans, leaving living beings without this essential resource.
Today, we learned that aquatic habitats are distinguished as freshwater (rivers and lakes) and saltwater (oceans and seas). That was all about habitats. See you soon!

Today, we’re going to learn what an ecosystem is, its components, and the different types of ecosystems found on Earth. Ready to learn about them? An ecosystem is the community of living organisms and the natural resources of the environment in which they live. Ecosystems are found in different parts of the planet. They can be very large, like the Sahara Desert, or much smaller and circumscribed, like the Dead Sea.
But how do we identify ecosystem coverage? The flora and fauna of each ecosystem have adapted to live according to the characteristics and resources of their surroundings. The interaction among them defines the ecosystem and its coverage. That’s why there are so many types of ecosystems.
Ecosystems consist of a biotope and a biosynosis. Let’s see what they are. The physical characteristics of the surroundings are called a biotope. These characteristics include non-living elements like soil, water, air, wind, light, and temperature. The biological community that lives in those surroundings is called biosynosis, which refers to the living beings that inhabit a physical area. Among the living beings in an ecosystem, we can find microorganisms, plants, and animals.
We distinguish between two types of ecosystems: natural ecosystems and artificial ecosystems. Natural ecosystems are areas that have developed without human intervention. The diversity of natural ecosystems occurs due to different climates and resources found in each one. This way, the animals and plants in a natural ecosystem have developed adaptations related to their environment. For example, polar bears are white to camouflage themselves in the North Pole environment. If those environments are destroyed or if there’s a change in resources, the interactions among the elements of the ecosystem could be altered, endangering their existence.
We can classify natural ecosystems into two major types: terrestrial and marine ecosystems. Terrestrial ecosystems include deserts, jungles, woodlands, tundras, and grasslands or savannahs. Marine ecosystems differ depending on the type of water, which is why there are freshwater ecosystems like rivers and lakes, and saltwater ecosystems like seas and oceans.
Artificial ecosystems are areas created by humans that cannot be found in nature, like urban ecosystems, agricultural ecosystems, livestock ecosystems, and reservoir and dam ecosystems. As you can see, the interactions among living beings and their environment are very important for preserving an ecosystem. Let’s help take care of the environment to preserve the huge diversity of natural ecosystems.
