6th grade Weather & Water Scavenger Hunt
TIME IS
SHORT! Show your acting, writing, and
research skills to accomplish as many of these tasks as possible. Even though we may spend some time in the
library, the research is up to you!
The maximum amount of points awarded is listed on the side. Turn in your projects one at a time as you
finish them so that they do not pile up!
The final deadline for ALL
submissions is October 23rd. Your
goal is to get 50 points or
more. You may do as few or all as you would
like, but remember this is your grade! This is not extra credit, THIS IS AN
ASSIGNMENT!
Except for the
worksheets, all work should be typed and/ or done as neatly as possible. (Typed means 10 or 12 point font and single
spaced) Please refer to the descriptions for actual details and
requirements.
