Tides

Introduction:
The word "tides" is a generic term used to
define the alternating rise and fall in sea level with
respect to the land, produced by the gravitational
attraction of the moon and the sun. To a much smaller
extent, tides also occur in large lakes, the atmosphere,
and within the solid crust of the earth, which are all
acted upon by these same gravitational forces of the
moon and sun. |

Material
and instructions:
Investigate about
tides, how and when they happen? What are the benefits of
learning about tides? Find out what are the world's highest
tides and why? Can you predict tides and their heights? Can we
use tidal power to generate electricity? Do tides vary at
different seasons or different days of the month? Do tides
happen at the same time every day?
In this project you will make
a model to display tides. You may also construct a tide gauge.
You may finally record the tides at a certain coast and use your
data table to draw a graph. Material needed for this project can
be found at home or obtained locally.
