SCIENCE AND HEALTH V

Date: ____________

I. Objective:

 Relate through a model the position of the moon and the earth to places where high and
low tides occur.

Values: Some people seem to be affected by the moon just like the earth.

II. Subject Matter:

Tides

A. Science Concept/Idea:

 The revolution of the moon around the earth causes the natural occurrences of tides.

B. Science Processes:

Identifying, Describing, Illustrating and Communicating

C. Materials:

Orrey

III. Procedure:

A. Preparatory Activities:

1. Checking of Assignment:

2. Review:

How many high and low tides occur within 12 hours occur in one complete rotation of
the earth?

B. Developmental Activities:

1. Motivation:

If you live near the sea, what would you do during high tide? During low tide? When is it
good to wade?

2. Activity 17, p. 303 (see attached activity):

a. Place the moon at a new moon position and infer how the gravitational attractions of
the moon and the sun affect the oceans of earth.

b. Place the moon at a full moon position and infer how the gravitational attractions of the
moon and the sun affect the oceans of the earth.

c. Place the moon a first and last quarter positions and infer how the gravitational
attractions of the moon and the sun affect the ocean of the earth.

C. Concept Formation:

What is the position of the moon and earth when high occurs? What is the position of the
moon and earth low tide occurs?
 D. Application:

What should people living near the sea not do during high tide?

IV. Evaluation:

Draw the sun, moon and earth in different positions and indicate the occurrence of high tide, low
tide, spring tide, and neap tide.

V. Assignment:

When should fisherman catch fish, during high tide or low tide?

SCIENCE AND HEALTH V

Date: ____________

I. Objective:

 Explain how high tide and low tides occur.

Values: Curiosity; awareness

II. Subject Matter:

High Tide and Low Tide

A. Science Concept/Idea:
  High tides usually occur during new moon and full moon. When the sun, the moon and the
earth are nearly aligned to one another. Those areas found in this alignment would have tide.
Areas not found in this alignment would have low tide. Low tide refers to ocean waters at
their lowest level.
 Tides occurring during new moon and full moon are called spring tides.
 When the moon, earth, and the sun are at a right angle, a quarter moon appears.
 Ocean waters during these times are not high as when these heavenly are almost aligned. This
time near tides occur.

B. Science Processes:

Observing, Describing and Identifying

C. Materials:

Orrery, blackboard

III. Procedure:

A. Preparatory Activities:

1. Review:

What is high tide? What is low tide?

B. Developmental Activities:

1. Motivation:

Does the Earth move? How? Does the moon move? How?
 2. Activity:

Let the pupils move the orrery and observe the position of the Sun, Earth, and Moon at a
certain point.

Discussion:

What happens while the Earth and Moon revolve around the sun? when does full moon
occur? When does new moon occur?

C. Concept Formation:

What happens when the sun, earth, and moon are aligned?

What is experienced in these areas during the alignment?

What happens when the sun, earth, and moon are at a right angle?

What is experienced in those areas at a right angle?

D. Generalization:

When does high tide occur?

When does low tide occur?

What is spring tide? Neap tide?

E. Application:

If you live near the sea, what would you not do during high tide? What would you do during
low tide?

IV. Evaluation:

Illustrate the position of the sun, moon, and earth during high tide and during low tide.
V. Assignment:

Do high tides and low tides occur only once in a day?
