Students are provided a tides chart for one month, and are asked analysis questions on a corresponding worksheet. This allows students to practice reading a tide chart to obtain the following types of information:
- How many high and low tides a day are there?
- When is the tide rising? Falling?
- What is the tidal range?
- How many hours between tides?
- When are the “extreme” tides (spring/neap)?
Take It Further! We also offer a Graphing Tides Activity in which students graph data from a tide chart. That activity includes this worksheet, as well.
