Fascinating Fact:

Human plate. People are omnivores. We can eat fruit, veg, and meat. We choose healthy mixes.

In KS1 Science, children learn that animals can be sorted by what they eat. Notice how their teeth, beaks, and habits match herbivore, carnivore, or omnivore diets.

Frequently Asked Questions (Click to see answers)

What is the difference between carnivores, herbivores and omnivores?

Carnivores mainly eat meat, herbivores mainly eat plants, and omnivores eat both plants and animals. These groups help us describe and compare animal diets in KS1 Science.

How can KS1 children remember which animals are herbivores, carnivores or omnivores?

Use clues: sharp pointed teeth often mean meat eater, flat teeth mean plant chewer, and a mix of tooth shapes suggests an omnivore. Sorting pictures into groups also helps.

Why is learning about carnivores, herbivores and omnivores important?

Knowing what animals eat helps children understand food chains, how animals survive in their habitats, and how to make balanced food choices for themselves.
