Life Near the Peanut Field

Peanut plants use air and sunlight. Their roots take up water and hold the plants in soil. Field mice breathe air, drink water, eat foods such as seeds, and use covered places to hide. On a peanut farm, these needs help us think about where they might live. A class makes a paper map of the farm. The paper pieces stand for real things. No living plants or mice are moved.

Peanut plant checklist: Air, sunlight, water, and soil for roots.
