GRADE 4
SCIENCE HOMEWORK
Please submit your work typed or on lined paper, neatly written.
This is due on Monday, March 26, 2012.
With the help of pages 400-401 in your Science textbook, answer the following questions:
1. Why is it important that forecasters accurately predict the path of a hurricane?
2. How do you think hurricanes can cause flooding on land?
3. The Hurricane Hunters have greatly helped scientists better understand hurricanes. Write two paragraphs explaining what the Hurricane Hunters do and how their work has helped scientists better understand hurricanes. Why is this important for us living in the Cayman Islands?
CREATIVE JOURNAL WRITING
You have just been through a category 3 hurricane. Write a blog/journal entry describing the aftermath. How are you feeling? How does the island look? What do you smell and hear? Please include a drawing or pictures. (Remember to let me know where you got your pictures from if they are not your own.)
