# Living Systems: Plants and Animals Word Search

Plants and animals interact in many ways. They live in different habitats and depend on each other for food. A food chain shows how plants and animals are connected. Animals use their senses to find food and survive. Some animals are carnivores that eat meat, while others eat plants. We can all take actions to protect plants and animals in our communities ([Outcome](https://goa-cc-uat-aili-app-001.azurewebsites.net/explore/node/36337), [Details](https://goa-cc-uat-aili-app-001.azurewebsites.net/explore/node/36339)).
