Primary Worksheets: Mole
Primary worksheets on the topic of the mole designed for primary school students. A basic passage with questions at the end to answer, testing the students comprehension levels.
The mole is a small mammal that digs tunnels. The mole family contains over 40 species. Among the places where they are found are Europe, Asia, and the U.S. Moles look a little like mice or squirrels, but they’re not rodents.
They live in grasslands, urban areas, gardens, sand dunes, mixed woodlands, or anywhere that has soil in which they can dig tunnels. Acidic soil and mountainous areas tend to repel them.
A mole’s main purpose is to dig. In general, their bodies are cylindrical or tube-shaped, and their tails are usually short. Without their tails, they measure about 1.2 inches (3 centimeters) to almost 9 inches (22.5 centimeters).

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.
