🚀 Discovery Space · Science
Animals, plants, bodies and how living things survive. Daily Academy tracks it as its own skill, separately from the 4 others in discovery space, so it can never be averaged away by a subject score.
“What does this animal need to survive here?”
Habitats memorised as lists rather than as answers to what a living thing needs.
8 activities currently target this skill. These are actual questions, shown at the difficulty they are served at, with the explanation a child sees after answering.
Difficulty 0.3 — mid grade 0
How many things does every animal need?
Hint shown after a miss: Food, water, air, and one more.
Explanation: 4 things: food, water, air and somewhere safe to live.
Difficulty 0.4 — mid grade 0
Where does the squirrel live?
Hint shown after a miss: The story says where each animal lives.
Explanation: In a tree. The bird lives in a nest and the fish lives in the water.
Difficulty 0.6 — mid grade 0
Do you need the same four things as a squirrel?
Hint shown after a miss: The story says so at the end.
Explanation: Yes, all four. People are animals too, and the four needs are the same for every one of them.
Each one is estimated separately, which is what lets the parent dashboard name a specific gap rather than report a subject average.

It appears in both. Daily Academy does not gate skills by year group — a child is placed on a continuous difficulty scale during a five-minute intake, and living things is then served at whatever level they are actually at, adjusted separately from every other skill.
A five-minute intake places them on a continuous scale, and the skill map shows every skill separately from the first week. The daily mission is free.
