Worksheet 1: Class 6 Science - Food: Where Does It Come From?

Welcome to your first science worksheet! Let's explore the world of food and find out where the food we eat comes from. This worksheet will test your knowledge about different types of food sources and the eating habits of animals.

Understanding Our Food Sources

Every day, we eat a wide variety of food items. These items come from either **plants** or **animals**. For example, ingredients like grains, vegetables, and fruits come from plants, while milk, eggs, and meat come from animals.

Different parts of plants serve as our food. We eat the **roots** (like carrot), **stems** (like sugarcane), **leaves** (like spinach), **fruits** (like apple), and **seeds** (like wheat). Even some flowers are edible! Just like us, animals also need food to survive.

Based on what they eat, animals can be classified into three main groups:

• Herbivores: Animals that eat only plants. (e.g., Cow, Deer)
• Carnivores: Animals that eat only other animals. (e.g., Lion, Tiger)
• Omnivores: Animals that eat both plants and other animals. (e.g., Human, Crow)
