Science: Waves, Tides, and Currents

This week we concluded our models on waves, tides, and currents. Students used art materials to create a representation of one of these science terms. They were then asked to write a paragraph researching the differences between these three water systems. Students will be able to show their designs at student led conferences.

As we have learned, a wave occurs with changes in the wind, while a tide involves changes in water levels due to moon cycles. Currents are the flow of bodies of water through the gravitational pull.
