Moon phases:
- look up the phases of the moon
- create a diagram of the moon orbiting the earth, with phases marked
- on your diagram, make sure to include a lunar eclipse and a solar eclipse
- why can't we see the dark side of the earth?
Tides:
- do high tides and low tides exactly match the phases of the moon?
- what do they match?
- why would the tides in some places be much higher?
- look up the extreme tides in the bay of Fundy-how can these be 58 feet or more?
- how is this similar to what you did with the long spring on the floor?
