About this worksheet

A Year 1 science knowledge check on what animals eat, across five pages with the answer key on the last page. It starts with the meaning of carnivore, herbivore and omnivore. Pupils then classify pictures of a rabbit, lion, bear and cow, and sort a sheep, a tiger and a pig into a three-column table. The final section asks which group humans belong to, whether a horse is a carnivore, and for a drawing of a herbivore's food. It follows the England National Curriculum objective on carnivores, herbivores and omnivores.
