Let’s solve this step by step.
We are given a table with 4 levels of flood warnings, and we need to draw a small symbol for each one in the empty boxes on the right. These symbols will be our “key” — like a legend on a map — so we can use them later to mark places on a map (in Task 2).
Here are the 4 warning levels:
1.
Severe flood warning → Flooding will be dangerous and could hurt people.
→ This is the most serious. We should pick a symbol that shows danger or urgency. Maybe a red exclamation mark (!) or a skull? But since it’s for kids, let’s keep it simple: how about a
red triangle with an exclamation mark? Or even simpler — just a
big red “!”. Let’s go with
❗ (exclamation mark) for severe.
2.
Flood warning → Flooding is expected, so action should be taken.
→ Still serious, but not as bad as “severe”. Maybe a
yellow warning sign? Like a
⚠️ (warning triangle). That’s perfect.
3.
Flood alert → Flooding is possible, so people should be prepared.
→ Less urgent. Maybe a
blue cloud with rain drops? Or a
light blue circle? Since the first two are red and yellow, let’s use
🔵 (blue dot) to mean “be aware”.
4.
Flood warning no longer in place → Alerts or warning no longer apply.
→ All clear! So maybe a
green checkmark ✔ or a smiley face 😊. Let’s use
✔ because it means “all good”.
So here’s our key:
- Severe flood warning → ❗
- Flood warning → ⚠️
- Flood alert → 🔵
- Flood warning no longer in place →
✔
Now, Task 2 says: Use an atlas or internet to find where these places are, then label the map (which we don’t have, but we can list what symbol goes where).
The locations and their warning levels:
1. Severe flood warning in Leeds → ❗
2. Flood warning in Belfast → ⚠️
3. Flood warning no longer in place in London →
✔
4. Flood alert in Edinburgh → 🔵
5. Flood warning no longer in place in Lancaster →
✔
6. Severe flood warning in Norwich → ❗
7. Flood alert in Cardiff → 🔵
8. Severe flood warning in Bournemouth → ❗
We don’t need to draw the map — just know which symbol goes with which city based on the warning level.
Final Answer:
Task 1 Key Symbols:
- Severe flood warning: ❗
- Flood warning: ⚠️
- Flood alert: 🔵
- Flood warning no longer in place:
✔
Task 2 Map Labels (symbol for each location):
1. Leeds → ❗
2. Belfast → ⚠️
3. London →
✔
4. Edinburgh → 🔵
5. Lancaster →
✔
6. Norwich → ❗
7. Cardiff → 🔵
8. Bournemouth → ❗
