How do live lessons work?
Live lessons are interactive slides and course outlines that are used to teach Treeway Live Classes. Click on the arrows to navigate backward and forwards through the slides.
How Do I Use the Lesson Plans?
Read this lesson plan before class to familiarize yourself with the ideas and concepts you’ll be teaching the students. You may print this page out if you need to use it as a reference point during live classes.
This lesson is a guide, but feel free to expand on the content or decrease/increase what you teach depending on the learning levels of the students in your class or the amount of time you have to cover the material.
Can I show videos in live classes?
Yes, feel free to include additional material to supplement the class lesson material. Videos, Physical Objects, Games, Activities, etc. are okay to share in live classes.
Videos should have no advertisements or logos and should be viewed by you before showing them to the students to ensure no offensive or questionable content is included.
The video should make up only a small portion of the live class.
How do bookmarks work?
Bookmarks help you keep track of lessons you’re going to teach in future live classes. The bookmarks you see are for all your bookmarked lessons across all grades.
You can bookmark a lesson by visiting the lesson you want to bookmark and clicking the “bookmark” button in the bookmark section.
You can remove a single bookmark by visiting a lesson you’ve bookmarked and clicking the “bookmark” button again to unbookmark it.
You can clear all of your bookmarks by clicking the “clear all bookmarks” button. Be careful, this will erase all of your bookmarks.

Class Summary
Reinforcing the science lesson that teaches that animals need adequate food, water, shelter, air, and space to survive. Students should leave the class feeling comfortable with the concept of the four basic things that animals need to survive and how those needs are filled.
Lesson Slide
Main Teaching Points
- All living things have needs that non-living things do not. All animals need food, water, shelter and air to survive. Jehovah filled the earth with all the things animals need to survive.
- Animals get all of the food they need to survive thanks to Jehovah. He made the earth full of food for them.
- The earth is full of water for animals to drink. Jehovah made lakes and rivers that animals drink water from.
- Animals need air to breathe. Animals need to breathe to survive. Jehovah made the earth full of air for animals to breathe.
- Animals need shelter. Shelter is the place where an animal lives. Shelter keeps animals safe, warm, cool and dry.
Discussion Questions
- Can you name any rivers, lakes or seas?
- Can you give examples of water in solid, liquid and gas form?
- True or False? There is exactly the same amount of water on earth now that there was millions of years ago. (True)
- Ask children to share how they use water everyday. (drinking, bathing, brushing teeth, swimming, cooking, blowing bubbles, painting with water colors, having pet fish. )
In-Class Activities
- Show and Tell: Have students bring photos of animals or pets. Call on students to show their animal pictures to the class and tell the class what their animal needs to survive. What does it eat? Where does it live?
- My Pet’s Habitat: Instruct the parents to have the students prepare for this class by drawing a picture of their pet in its habitat. They should draw their pet, its home, and the things they need to survive and show them to the class. This is a presentation.
