This worksheet explores the many ways cockroaches move, showing how they run, climb, glide, and even swim. Students learn that cockroaches can run extremely fast using long legs powered by flexible joints, helping them move across both smooth and rough surfaces. The passage also explains how cockroaches climb walls, furniture, and uneven environments, and how some species use short glides to escape danger. It highlights their agility, quick direction changes, and ability to squeeze into tight spaces.

Completing this worksheet helps students understand how animal movement connects to survival. They develop reading comprehension by identifying examples that show adaptation in action. Vocabulary related to locomotion, agility, and environmental challenges is strengthened through context. These skills support stronger scientific thinking and prepare students for future studies in biology and animal behavior.
