Hi My 3/4 Graders! The following are a list of activities that have to do with WATER and the environment. You will need to visit each activity and complete the assignment that goes along with it. Sometimes you will have to listen to an expert and other times you will need to watch a movie. Each activity will have instructions, but if you have any questions please comment on my blog :)

 5. Follow the link to my blog and read //Gone in the Caribbean//. You will need to respond to my post with your thoughts. [|MyBlog]
 * 1) Podcast Activity. Click on the purple word to visit the podcast. [|CloudSat] While listening, write down three interesting facts and two questions you have from the podcast. We will share these in our small groups in class.
 * 2) Video Activity. Watch the video below and think about recycling. How do the fish from the video help the environment and the hippos? What kind of service shop does this remind you of (hint: think "water".)media type="custom" key="3946395" [|Fish Cleaning a Hippo]
 * 3) Visit this interactive web page [|Plan it Green] where you are the mayor and you can create a green community. You must create your "green" community and print the result page. Then, draw a picture with a paragragh describing your idea of a "green" house that you would live in.
 * 4) Below is a picture of a Pacific storm spreading rain, snow and heavy winds into the Pacific Northwest. NOAA-14 image. Original at [|NOAA Photo Library] If you were a water droplet from a storm like this, what would happen to you? What is your droplet story? Write a short story about the droplet and it's path through the water cycle. The story should start in the storm cloud...where you take it is up to you!

Here are 5 more activities to visit. Make sure to print out the final/end page(s) to show you completed the activities.
