The Earth in Space
Do you think Earth makes fun of other planets for having no life? The presentation covers the rotation and revolution of both the earth and our moon. It provides explanations for seasons, tides, and eclipses. Lesson is the 20th in a...

What Is The Ocean?
Go on a tour of the ocean through the lens of a scientist. Learners read maps of the ocean floor, study tide behavior, examine wave motion, and analyze components of soil. Each lesson incorporates a hands-on component.
Curated OER
Gravity: A Relatively Heavy Subject
Students examine planetary movement and its relation to the tide.In this gravity lesson students describe how and why the high and low tides change every day.
Curated OER
The Tides
Students experience a computer based applet that explains why the Earth experiences tides.
Curated OER
Tides
Students discover how the position of the Sun, Moon and Earth affect tides. In this science lesson, students view a presentation about the tides. Students discuss the different types of tides.
Curated OER
Tides of Change
Students use the Internet to gather information on tides and then use this information to determine the period of revolution of the moon around the earth (part 1) and the relative pull of the sun and the moon on the tides (part 2).
Curated OER
Timing the Tides
Students collect data and describe how and why the high and low tides change from day to day. In exploring tides lesson students study tides by taking notes, recording data and analyzing their findings.
Curated OER
Tides
Students graph 40 days of high and low tide data for a site in Baja, Mexico near the Wetlands & Fisheries Live! research center. They identify patterns in the data and finally to make a connection between tidal heights and the phase...

The Tides of Change Worksheet (Part 1)
In this science worksheet, 1st graders track the tides of the ocean for a number of days and examine the data to determine the meaning of the pattern.
Curated OER
Ride the Tide
Students examine the cause-and-effect relationship between tides and the rocky coast ecosystem. They complete a worksheet that illustrates the intertidal zone.
Curated OER
Alternate Tide of Change Worksheet
In this space science worksheet, students look up the mass of the sun and moon. They graph the results with the graphic organizer and answer the questions that are related.
Curated OER
The Phases of the Moon
Students sketch the different phases of the moon after exploring them on an internet program. In this moon phases lesson plan, students discuss how the Sun, Earth, and Moon are related.
Curated OER
Once in a Blue Moon
Third graders identify the phases of the moon. They use technology to access websites on the Internet dealing with the moon.
Curated OER
Walk Two Moons
In this comprehension check learning exercise, students respond to 11 short answer questions covering chapters 28-29 of Walk Two Moons by Sharon Creech to help them better understand those chapters.
Curated OER
Spring Tides
In this tides worksheet, learners read about spring tides. Then students use a source of tide information to determine the high and low tides for the day and the phase of the moon. Learners draw an illustration of the alignment of the...
Curated OER
Do Some Research - Tides
In this science research worksheet, students use the library or Internet to determine what the regular changes in the level of water caused by the moon's gravity is called. They write the answer on the blue line, write a short essay...
Curated OER
The Moon Made Me Do It!
Students research lunar cycles and how it effects living organisms. In this investigative lesson students prepare written reports on the lunar cycles and the relationship between animal behavior and reproductivity then give an oral...
Curated OER
Topsy Turvey Tides
Students explore ocean tides. They research how the sun, moon and earth affect the tides. Students draw a diagram illustrating low tides and high tides. They discuss the affect of gravitational pull on the oceans.
Curated OER
The Tides-Ups and Downs
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...
Curated OER
The Tides of Change Worksheet (Part 2)
In this tides worksheet, pupils visit specified websites to view information. They explore the mass of the sun and moon, the force of gravity between two objects, and the ratio of the distances from the earth to the sun. Students follow...
Curated OER
What Causes Tides?
In this tides worksheet, students compare spring tides and neap tides by writing in the causes and effects of these different tides. This worksheet is a graphic organizer.
Curated OER
Tidal Forces-Let'er Rip!
For this tidal forces worksheet, students read about the gravitational pull from the moon that causes the ocean tides. Students solve 3 problems including finding the Roche or the tidal radius for the Earth and Moon, comparing the Roche...
Curated OER
Rocky Intertidal Field Trip
Learners investigate tides and the land submerged under them. In this intertidal field trip, Students visit the intertidal zone and observe the habitats and animals that live there. Learners view the pools under rocks where lobsters...
Curated OER
The Motions of the Oceans
Students examine the topics of ocean waves, currents, and tides. They locate and label ocean currents on a world map, conduct experiments, analyze key vocabulary, view demonstrations and record the data, and complete handouts.
