whale watch

a)  Max said he wore a necklace for good luck. What was the good luck he was hoping for?  He could see a whale.

b)  Why did Lester put the hydrophone in the water? To pick up some whale sounds if one was near his bout.

c)  Why did Lester take the whale watchers five kilometres offshore?  Because there might be there.

d)  What are two possible reasons for the hydrophone not picking up any sounds? Because the whale was sleeping.

e)  The words "We waited …and waited…" have been written in large print to make them stand out. What might this tell us about how Max was feeling? Mad and sad the same time.

f)  What was the first clue Max had, that a whale was at the surface near the boat? Maybe they caght the whale.

     The first clue Max had was the rush of air that was the whale’s breathing. Today in class we did writting.
