Primary Worksheets: Seahorse
Primary worksheets on the topic of the seahorse designed for primary school students. A basic passage with questions at the end to answer, testing the students comprehension levels.
The seahorse is a tiny type of fish that gets their name from their horselike head! These creatures live in shallow tropical waters worldwide but not in colder areas. There are over 30 different kinds of seahorse in the world.
Their bodies are covered in tiny, spiny plates and do not have scales like other fishes. They swim upright usually among seaweed and other plants. They use their tail to grasp objects, allowing them to anchor themselves to plants.
Seahorses are masters of camouflage! They can be very difficult to spot because of their size and ability to change colour. This helps them avoid predators such as crabs and other fish that are larger than them. They do not hunt for their food. They wait for their small prey to pass by and suck them up with their mouth!

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.
