Primary worksheets on the topic of the bat designed for primary school students. A basic passage with questions at the end to answer, testing the students comprehension levels.
Bats are mammals that are often feared because of stories about vampires, but they are actually very helpful to humans!
People used to think that bats were birds without feathers, but there is no such thing as a featherless bird! They are the only mammals that can fly continuously.
Bats are nocturnal and will only usually come out at night to feed. During the day, they sleep in their caves or trees upside down! The largest bat cave in the world is in Texas, and during summer it can have up to 20 million bats at once!

Basic Tips
When teaching a new concept to a student, make it as visual as possible. Concepts become more comprehensible. A standard lesson should follow this basic structure:
- Introduction: gather what knowledge the students have on the topic. Assess and evaluate your level to base how much assistance they require throughout the lesson
- Concept: teaching the actual topic of the lesson. Highlight the difficulty the students are having and apply the appropriate action. For example, if they do not understand the meaning of a word, get them to highlight it for further studying in the future.
- Evaluation: conclude the lesson by getting the students to feedback what you have taught. Ensure they comprehend the topic and know the main points.
Build the confidence level of students through active participation. Encourage projects for them to do what they have learnt into practical use. The more engaging the lesson is, the better the result.
