Five lettered parts on a rabbit diagram make up this 1st grade science labeling page. Students write the name of each part and its job on the blank lines, using a word bank that pairs every part with a use: nose to smell, back legs to hop, ears to hear, fur to stay warm, and teeth to chew. A teacher note in the answer key maps letters A to E to each part, since the letter placement can vary. The page supports NGSS 1-LS1-1.
1-LS1-1
“Use materials to design a solution to a human problem by mimicking how plants and/or animals use their external parts to help them survive, grow, and meet their needs.*”
Every label ties an outside part to a survival job. Fur to stay warm is the one to come back to when students design a coat that copies an animal.
A rabbit picture with parts marked A to E. On each line, students write both the part and what it does.
Five pairs to copy: Nose (to smell), Back legs (to hop), Ears (to hear), Fur (to stay warm), and Teeth (to chew).
Science notebook
Glue it in after students watch a real rabbit or a short video of one. They can then point to the long ears and large back legs they saw.
Before grading
Treat the key's letter order as a guide. Check the diagram you printed, because letters A to E can land on different parts.
Extension
Ask students to add a sixth label for the rabbit's eyes or tail and write its job in the same style as the word bank.
