The Ebb-Tide

Ninth graders determine the causes of tides. In this earth science lesson plan, 9th graders create marigrams from local tide data and label the neap and spring tides. They compare them with other parts of the world.

Students are introduced briefly to the Biscayne Bay Ecosystem, observed microbe distributions and water current maps are introduced. They measure water current speeds to predict the movement of pollutants based on the type of the tidal...

Students investigate tidal patters and the forces that cause the tides. In this tidal lesson plan, students explore and research the tides and complete 43 questions about the causes of the tides, how they are monitored and measured and...

Students determine how navigators of ships predict and compensate for the effect of coastal ocean currents. Students use an online database to retrieve data on water movement for selected areas. Students gather information about...

Students investigate the effects of the lunar cycles on living organisms. In this lunar cycles lesson plan, students explain the forces that cause the tides, they discuss the effects of the lunar cycle on living organisms and they...

Young scholars research about how lunar cycles affect living organisms. In this biology instructional activity, students prepare an oral presentation of their research results and analyses. They explore the forces that affect tides.

This is not revolutionary, but it is informative. Earth science viewers in grades 7-12 get carried away with wave and wind erosion. They view diagrams of how waves impact ocean shorelines. They see examples of the different types of sand...

Students define data, recover data from the Internet, and use information they obtain to solve problems.  In this investigative lesson students answer questions on a worksheet and demonstrate the use of a maneuvering board in solving...

Students research lunar cycles and how it effects living organisms.  In this investigative instructional activity students prepare written reports on the lunar cycles and the relationship between animal behavior and reproductivity then...

Learners examine tidal currents.  In this tides lesson students describe how the tides affect lives and explain why it is important to monitor them.
