Our first full day in Alaska, duck, me and my parents went In a small airplane. The little plane only held 6 people including the pilot. Everyone got a window seat and a head set to talk and hear other people. We flew over Cook Inlet named after Captain Cook, then we flew over a little bit of flat land and we saw 3 moose that were so big we could see them from 700 feet in the air. The average speed of the plane was 110 knots (a knot is a way to measure the speed of a boat or plane). The pilot decided to land on a little lake in the middle of no where. It was so cool we found some real cool bear tracks. Then we were of back in the air with an altitude of 700 feet. As soon as I notice the pilot is about to land I said to myself “wow that was beautiful”.
The second day in Alaska we were off to Seward on our way to catch a boat to explore Resurrection Bay. Once we got on the boat I noticed our captain had two hooks for hands, a real Captain Hook. He told us that the water was 1000 feet deep and we were going 18.8 knots. We saw hairy legged mountain goats, harbor seals, sea otters, porpoise, and sea lions and it was spectacular.
The average day temperature was 32 degrease Fahrenheit in Alaska or 0 Celsius. There was no snow in Anchorage but there was a lot on the mountains. I wore shorts all the time but most people did not because it is 32 degrease Fahrenheit but it feels like 20 degrease Fahrenheit.
If 3 feet is a meter then how many meters is in 1000 feet, the depth of Resurrection Bay?
How many meters high was the plane that was 700 feet in the air?
If one knot is 1.15 miles per hour, then how fast did we go on the plane that went 110 knots?
How fast did we go on the boat that went 18.8 knots?
Is 5 degrees Celsius colder or hotter than 30 degrees Fareinheight?
