A plant and a rabbit stand on either side of four empty boxes, which fill one at a time with water, food, air and space, each with arrows to the living things that need it. The plant gets sunlight to make its own food and the rabbit gets a burrow for shelter, then the video ends on the recap that plants and animals need water, food, air and space.
