Ocean Tides Simulation Activity

The document outlines a lesson plan for a 3rd grade science class to investigate patterns in nature, specifically how the position of the moon affects tides. Students will use an online simulation called Ocean Tides to manipulate the moon's position and observe the corresponding changes in tide levels. They will document observations of 3 tidal changes to understand the relationship between lunar positioning and tide patterns.
