If you get burned easily, you might want to use an _________ to provide shade.

If someone gets burned easily, using an umbrella can provide shade and protect them from direct sunlight. Umbrellas are commonly used to shield individuals from the sun's rays, preventing sunburn and excessive exposure to UV radiation.

5.

What SPF should you use if you do not burn easily?
- SPF 55
- SPF 80
- SPF 5
- SPF 30
Correct Answer

A. SPF 30

Explanation

If you do not burn easily, using a lower SPF like 30 is sufficient for protecting your skin from the harmful effects of the sun. SPF 30 provides a high level of protection by blocking about 97% of the sun's UVB rays. It allows for some natural tanning while still preventing sunburn. Higher SPFs like 55 or 80 may provide slightly more protection, but the difference is minimal. It is important to reapply sunscreen regularly and take other sun protection measures regardless of the SPF level used.

What should you do when you are caught in a riptide?
- Start flailing around and freak out
- Start swimming frantically
- Swim parallel to the waves
- Float away
Correct Answer

A. Swim parallel to the waves

Explanation

When caught in a riptide, swimming parallel to the waves is the correct course of action. Riptides are strong currents that can pull swimmers away from the shore. By swimming parallel to the waves, you can escape the pull of the riptide and make your way back to the shore safely. Flailing around or swimming frantically can exhaust you and make the situation worse. Floating away will only take you further from the shore.

Explanation

These animals, including sharks, jellyfish, and crabs, can be dangerous. Sharks are known for their powerful jaws and ability to attack humans. Jellyfish have venomous tentacles that can cause painful stings. Crabs may have sharp claws that can pinch and potentially cause injury. It is important to always be cautious and aware of the potential danger these animals can pose.

What is an appropriate beach toy?
- Sand castle toys
- Squirt guns to fill up with salt water
- Toy weapons

Correct Answer

A. Sand castle toys

Explanation

Sand castle toys are an appropriate beach toy because they are specifically designed to be used in the sand. They allow children to build and create their own sand castles, promoting creativity and imaginative play. Additionally, sand castle toys are safe and do not pose any harm or danger to children, unlike squirt guns, toy weapons, or water balloons which may cause accidents or injuries.
