Habitat and Niche starts at 7 and continues till grade 12.
QuestionsToday has an evolving set of questions to continuously challenge students so that their knowledge grows in Habitat and Niche.
How you perform is determined by your score and the time you take.
When you play a quiz, your answers are evaluated in concept instead of actual words and definitions used.
See sample questions for grade 9

Describe how competition can affect the niches of two similar species living in the same area.
Describe how two bird species can live in the same tree but have different niches.
Describe what would happen if two species tried to occupy the exact same niche in the same habitat.
Explain how human activities can affect the habitat and niche of a species.
Explain the difference between a habitat and a niche.
Explain why it is important for an ecosystem to have species with different niches.
