About this resource
Description
Animals get their food in very different ways, and this herbivore and carnivore compare and contrast graphic organizer helps students see exactly how. Herbivores eat plants, while carnivores hunt and eat other animals. Some facts are true for only one group, and some are true for both. Sorting those facts is a simple, hands-on way for children to practice comparing and contrasting while they learn real life science.
About This Worksheet
This 3rd grade animals worksheet has two parts. In Part A, students read six lettered sentences about herbivores and carnivores. They decide whether each fact is true only for herbivores, only for carnivores, or for both, and write the letter in the correct part of a two-circle Venn diagram. In Part B, students write two sentences that explain how the teeth of the two groups are different, using facts from their diagram. A friendly picture of a grazing zebra and a lion finishes the page.
What’s Included
- A one-page herbivore and carnivore Venn diagram graphic organizer
- Six fact sentences to sort into herbivore, carnivore, and both
- A short written response section
- A complete answer key
Why This Worksheet Helps Kids
First, the Venn diagram gives students a clear visual way to organize what is the same and what is different. Second, sorting each fact asks students to read carefully, since words like only and many change what a sentence means. Third, the written response helps students explain their thinking in complete sentences, which prepares them for text-based questions on tests.
Ideas for Teachers and Parents
Before starting, list a few animals together and talk about what each one eats. After students finish, have them name one more herbivore and one more carnivore and add a fact about each. You can also pair the herbivore and carnivore compare and contrast graphic organizer with a short book about food chains so students find new facts to compare.
