Graphing the Tides1st Grade PSI Science Name ___________________________________Classwork
Tidal range is the difference between how high water is at high tide and how low water is at low tide.
Tidal range = high tide – low tide
QuestionAt a beach in California, high tide is 4 feet high and low tide is 2 feet high. What is the tidal range?
Tidal range = high tide – low tide
Tidal range = _____________ - ______________
Tidal range = ____________
The table below shows the tidal ranges for the Bay of Fundy in Canada, Anchorage in Alaska, and St. Augustine in Florida. Use this information to make a graph of tidal range. For every 5 feet of tidal range, color in 1 picture on the graph.
Location Tidal Range
Bay of Fundy, Canada 55 feet
Anchorage, Alaska 40 feet
St. Augustine, Florida 5 feet
