Story When Marissa woke that morning she got up and went to the kitchen

for something to eat then remembered that she had to go to the

science squad. Soon everything was packed and ready to go. Hurrying

despite the down pouring rain, Marissa was able to get there in time.

The science squad was going to leap from a tree about 9 feet above

sea level, then land in the ocean and see how many feet below sea

level (they were hoping to get at least -10 feet under water).

Story(continued)

“Thank goodness you’re

here!, "her friend Kate

puffed as she ran over the

hill that lined the lake they

lived by. "We thought that

we would have to start

without you!” she quickly led

Marissa to everyone else.”

Ok Kate and Mason will climb

up the tree and jump from

the tree!” A girl named

cassie shouted.

Story

(continued)“Hmm…” Kate

chattered as she

climbed out of the

lake. I felt like that was about -7

feet below sea level. That is

about 22 ft down!”

“was it cold?” Marissa asked as

Kate went to join the others,

“kind of,” she said. “ Ok now you

are going with Cassie”. Gulping,

Marissa climbed up the tree and

jumped. The water was not to

bad, she thought as she swam

upwards, it was nice, she realized

as she swam upwards. When she

was above the water, she quickly

swam to the edge of the lake and

got out.

Story (continued)

“nice job,” Kate said as Marissa

climbed out of the lake. “That was -8

feet underwater. ”that means 10 feet

underwater, subtracting negative

eight from that is 18 feet and the

total should be 19 feet. You missed it

by 1 foot!”

Story (continued)

Story (still continued) “hey every one!” Cassie called, “ it’s 4:00, we got to go!” with a moan, everyone dragged their stuff together and went home.
