03 HIGH WATER AND LOW WATER
High water is the moment the sea reaches its highest level at a place; low water is its lowest. In between, the water ebbs (falls) or floods (rises). The difference in height between a high and the next low is the tidal range. The Moon returns overhead every 24 hours 50 minutes,…
04 SPRING TIDES AND NEAP TIDES
The words are not about the season — “spring” here means the water springs up, in any month of the year.
CONCEPT COMPARISON TABLE editable — rewrite any cell to match your own textbook or syllabus
Sample content for classroom practice — heights, times and examples are illustrative. Before any trip to the coast, check the local tide forecast and the safety notices for that beach or harbour.
Two observation exercises
Both use published tide predictions, so you can do them from a desk or a classroom — there is no need to stand near the water. Write in the spaces provided; the hints are below.
H ANSWER HINTS
▪ Timing. Successive high waters are about 12 hours 25 minutes apart, because the Moon returns overhead every 24 hours 50 minutes.
Two-page A4 study sheet on tides, in navy blue, light cyan and coral orange, labelled SAMPLE CONTENT in the header band, footer and closing notes.
Page 1 — navy title band, a "big idea" callout, side-by-side sections on the Moon's pull and the Sun's pull, high and low water with an ebb–flood strip, spring vs neap tides, a key-numbers strip, and the concept comparison table (6 concepts × What it is / What causes it / What you notice).
Page 2 — two observation exercises with writing lines (reading a real tide station; comparing tide range with the Moon over 14 days), six answer hints, a fourteen-row record sheet, and the coral "check before you go" box reminding readers to check local tide forecasts and safety notices.
Everything is native Word content — no images, so all text, tables and colours stay editable (the comparison table is marked as editable, and the record sheet fills in like a form). Verified at exactly two A4 pages with the layout rendered and reviewed.
