About This Reader
This passage addresses NGSS K-ESS2-2 by showing how moles unintentionally create beneficial environmental changes. Students learn how animal behaviors can modify soil structure and affect plant growth, demonstrating the interconnected nature of living things and their environment.
A mole lived in a garden. He dug tunnels under the ground, making holes everywhere. These tunnels helped rainwater reach deep into the soil. Some plant roots used these tunnels to grow better. Even though the mole was just making his home, his digging helped other living things too.
