Day+04

=Day 4 - Ocean Waves and Tides=

** Introduction **
Waves and tides are different phenomena that involve the movement of water in Earth's oceans which can affect life and property in coastal areas.



**Materials**
- Earth Science textbook - mobile notebook lab or classroom computer lab - SMARTBoard - PowerPoint - Earth Science Chapter 18-19 Packet

**Activities**
===**Step 01:** Teacher led PowerPoint review of textbook reading===
 * In your science notebook jot down some thoughts you might have as I review the material you read for today.

**Step 02:** Draw and label the parts of a wave
>
 * Use GoogleDocs to create a Drawing document then draw and label the parts of an ocean wave.
 * When done share the document with me and place a link in your blog for today labeled **__Day 4 - Tides and Waves__**.
 * If you want to see waves in action with the parts labeled, visit the ocean wave 3D simulation - you MUST have Adobe Shockwave installed on your computer to view the animation. ** UPDATE -- December 2012 -** Unfortunately the interactive graphics that were freely available on the Internet by Pearson and have been used for years by me - located here: http://www.forgefx.com/casestudies/prenticehall/ - are now locked down and you must pay a fee to access them. I am providing the link in case others want to go that route.

** Step 05 :** Watch Video 2, shown below, which is about the Amazon River tidal bore.
After watching the video, explain what a tidal bore is in your **__Tides and Waves__** blog post for today.

Step 06: For fun, watch Video 3 to see what some enthusiastic surfers like to do with the Severn Bore tidal wave in England!
__**Steps 02 and 05 MUST** be completed by the next class period.__
