Secrets of the Ocean Realm - Star Gardens
Secrets of the Ocean Realm - Star Gardens
Description:
Tides, caused by the gravitational pull of the moon and sun on the surface of the ocean, are predictable changes in sea level that occur at regular intervals. Because tides affect both the natural environment and human activities, it is important to know when they will occur. This lesson focuses on tides. Instructional objectives include the following. Students will: 1. Learn to use a tide table in plotting tidal curves. 2. Create a tide calendar by plotting a month-long tidal curve on an ordinary pictorial calendar. The guide also provides background information and procedures for implementing the activities. Suggestions are given for evaluation, and extensions for lower grades are provided.
