Ocean Tides Worksheet: Using a Tide Chart Activity

$3.50

Give students a real-world application related to ocean tides – reading a tide chart!

Grades 7 and Up

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.

Teacher Notes:
