Science Semester Project Written Activity

This is our written activity, we decided to make a crossword puzzle to kind of quiz our classmates about their knowledge of ocean tides.

Spring 2014 Semester Project
Plan-

Written Activity- For the written activity we plan to make a crossword that will help our classmates better understand the relation between the position of the Moon and Sun and their effect on ocean tides.

Evaluation- For the evaluation we plan to explore more into our topic by giving a “10” question test over more than just what is in our journals.

Hands-on Activity- For the hands-on activity we plan to make a 3-dimensional model of Spring and Neap tides to show the position of the Moon and Sun.

Presentation- For the presentation we plan on making a slide show to teach our classmates facts about ocean tides and their effect from the Moon and Sun.
