About this resource

This is a Rats Worksheet Set that was designed for your primary students who learned about or are being introduced to rats. This is great for Years 4 – 6 students.

What You Get:

You will receive 2 different PDFs in this zip file.

1. Rats Worksheet (Lower Ability)

2. Rats Worksheet (Higher Ability)

The two types of worksheets will allow for greater differentiation amongst students. The higher ability worksheet has longer passages and more questions for students to answer.

How To Implement the Rats Worksheet Set:

You will print enough copies of each page for your entire class. If you wish to make this a reusable activity, you can print off a handful of copies and laminate them. Students can use dry-wipe markers to write their answers. This will make a great science centre or small group activity.

Students will read facts about rats and answer comprehension questions based on what they have read. This can be completed independently. Students can also work together to read the passages and find the answers to the question. Because this is a text-based task, encourage students to rely on the text to find their answers. You may encourage students to highlight or underline words and phrases that stand out to them as they read.

I hope you enjoy!
