Primary Worksheets: Bottlenose Dolphin
Primary worksheets on the topic of the bottlenose dolphin designed for primary school students. A basic passage with questions at the end to answer, testing the students comprehension levels.
Bottlenose dolphins are social and playful mammals that can swim at speeds of 22 miles per hour. They are the most common dolphin species that are found in warm water all over the world. They live in both shallow water close to shore and far out in deep dark waters.
They have sharp sense of hearing and has a special whistle that it can create. The whistle is used to identify who they are, just like a name! Dolphins produce high frequency clicks.
Every time they click, they can determine the shape, size, speed, distance, and location of an object by the sound that is rebounding off the object.
They are able to form friendships that can last decades but are facing many problems today.

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.
