Summer Vacation Activity Sheets — Answer Key
Part A: Multiple Choice
Circle the best answer for each question.
1. What do you need to catch a fish?
A) fishing rod
B) hammer
C) pencil
D) pillow
A fishing rod is the right tool because it has a line and hook to catch fish in water; hammers, pencils, and pillows are not made for fishing.
2. Which is a summer fruit?
A) pumpkin
B) watermelon
C) turnip
D) potato
Watermelon grows in the warm summer sun and is juicy and sweet; pumpkins are for fall, while turnips and potatoes are root vegetables, not fruits.
3. What keeps you cool at the park?
A) fireplace
B) heater
C) sprinkler
D) oven
A sprinkler sprays cool water on you, which lowers your body temperature; fireplaces, heaters, and ovens all make heat and would make you even hotter.
4. When is the best time to see fireflies?
A) morning
B) afternoon
C) nighttime
D) noon
Fireflies glow in the dark, so nighttime is when you can best see their little lights; mornings, afternoons, and noon are too bright to spot them.
