High Tide and Low Tide

Today we did a close reading about boat manufacturing in Nova Scotia. One thing that caught our attention was how they repaired the boats! We learned that the boats are repaired during low tide. But, what is low tide? The Grade ones and twos were wondering this, so we looked at a time lapse video of water going from high tide to low tide and back again.

The next question that the grade ones and twos asked was where does the water go? Some of their ideas were really great! Like there's a giant hole that the water falls in or that someone has a bucket and takes the water.

What we discovered was that it has everything to do with the moon! THE MOON?!?

Ask your grade one or two what the changing tides have to do with the moon!
