  2. Tides

  3. Water Systems Module • The following activities are designed to lead you through the grade 8, water systems unit. • Each section has assignments, links and activities for you to complete. *Please follow specific directions & be mindful of the rubric expectations for each.

  4. Tides Introduction This segment of our Tidal unit will act as a basic introduction to tides.

  5. Tides- Intro Activity • Complete the anticipation guide- complete the “Before” category prior to watching the film. This will gauge your prior knowledge pertaining to tides and their causes. • Visit: www.learn360.com and view: “The Movement of the Moon and Tides” • After the film- complete the “After” category component of the anticipation guide

  6. Tides- Intro Activity • Activity: Using “Paint” or equivalent- create a basic representation defining how tides occur. Your model should include basic vocabulary, images, arrows, etc. • Submit your creation to the class inbox

  7. Tides- Intro Activity • Prior Knowledge: Using Inspiration- create a knowledge web outlining everything you already know about tides and the interactions caused by their occurrence. You will add to this web as the unit emerges.

  8. What causes tides? This segment of our Tidal unit will look at what causes tides.

  9. Tides- Causes • Please complete the following reading about Venice (http://www.pbs.org/wgbh/nova/venice/tides.html ) - • Define key terms listed in the Three-Point-Approach • Using the lab scanner: re-scan completed graphic organizer and hand forward to staff inbox

  10. Tides- Causes • Examine the following animation: http://www.wiley.com/college/strahler/0471480533/animations/ch19_animations/animation3.html • Using the attached activity, print off and complete a detailed sequencing of events outlining how tides of occur- use as much detail surrounding gravitational pull, alignment of planets and other important details. • Use information from chart and add new details and understanding to Inspiration creation.

  11. Tides- Causes • Using Flash create an animation demonstrating cause, effect and creation of tidal action. • Your animated creation should include audio (Audacity) voice over describing tide function and sequence. Including still texts that support understanding and explanation is acceptable. • Please refer to rubric for assessment information and specific criteria

  12. Tides- Causes • Complete the directed thinking activity prior & after watching the film below. • Visit: www.learn360.com • View: “The Movement of the Moon and Tides”

  13. Tide Differences The next segment of our Tidal unit calls for a comparison study of the tides in the Bay of Fundy & the Atlantic Coast.

  14. Tides- Differences • Visit the Fisheries and Oceans Website (http://www.lau.chs-shc.gc.ca/english/Canada.shtml) • Search the Atlantic Area • Choose two locations (one in the Bay of Fundy and one on the Atlantic Ocean) • Using the predicted hourly heights, add the data for each area into an Excel file. • Graph the two areas using a line graph • Submit the graph into the class inbox

  15. Tide- Differences • Visit the wesbite http://www.gma.org/undersea_landscapes/Bay_of_Fundy/ and click on the “Related Information” section to view a video on tidal fall and rise in the Bay of Fundy.

  16. Tide- Causes • Write a response on the class blog about: • The differences you found between the two areas that you graphed. • Predict what tide heights would be like in Hudson Bay and post on the website. • Add the predicted hourly heights from an area in the Hudson Bay to your Excel file and create a new graph. • Submit the new graph into your class inbox. • Please refer to rubric for assessment information and specific criteria

  17. Tides- Erosion The next segment of our Tidal unit calls for a comparison study of the tidal effects on the shores of the Minas Basin.

  18. Tides- Erosion • Work through and complete the attached lab on Waves and Beaches. • Hand-in the completed lab activity to your teacher.

  19. Tides- Erosion • In partners, develop a Photo Story using results of tides on the shorelines, rivers, brooks and deltas leading to the Minas Basin. Be sure to include narration using Audacity. • You will go on class trip to various stops along the Basin. Along the way, you will use digital cameras to document changes and highlights notable influences of the tides along the shorelines. • You may also wish to have family or friends accompany you on similar ventures after hours to further document your findings.

  20. Tides- Erosion • Before we depart on our class trip, you should review the following videos to help prepare you for your exploration. http://faculty.gg.uwyo.edu/heller/SedMovs/bayofun2.htm http://faculty.gg.uwyo.edu/heller/SedMovs/bayofun1.htm

  21. Tides- Erosion • Points of interest for your Story Board: • Erosion of sandbanks along the Basin • Silt build up in Windsor-next to 101 Highway • High tide marks • Changing waterways along mouths of rivers and streams entering Basin • Effects on fishery • Effects on birds • Please refer to rubric for assessment information and specific criteria
