Discussion Questions

Before VideoWhat kinds of things do you eat?ANSWER
-
People can eat many different kinds of food like pizza, pasta, salads, chicken, ice cream and more.
-
Most food comes from the store. Before it was at the store, it probably came from a farm. Fruits and vegetables are grown in the ground, and animals are raised on a farm too.
-
If you don’t get food for a long time your stomach starts to growl and hurt. Sometimes you don’t have energy to do things. If it’s a really long time (weeks) you could die of starvation.
-
You need water and shelter to survive. All plants and animals on Earth need water to live and grow.
-
Wild animals can’t go to the store to get their food, so they must hunt for it or wander around to look for it. Wild animals eat plants or other animals.
-
If an animal can’t find food it could try moving to a new place to look for food. If they don’t find any food for a long time, they could die.
