Use these Year 4 Living Things and Their Habitats Concept Cartoons to create discussion and deepen scientific thinking. Each cartoon presents a range of common misconceptions that children can explore and unpick, helping them to develop a secure understanding of the topic. Pupils are encouraged to share their viewpoints and use evidence from their learning to decide whether a statement is true, while teachers can quickly identify any gaps in understanding to address.

These resources are highly versatile - they can be introduced at the start of a topic to probe prior knowledge or revisited at the end to consolidate learning. They also work brilliantly as classroom displays, ensuring a knowledge rich environment to further young minds.
