Grade 8 Week 14: Waves v. Tides

What causes waves?

Why do waves break as seen in the picture above?
What near shore currents are caused by waves?
How can we use the energy transfered in waves to create energy?

What causes tides to fluctuate between low and high?
What are the effects of tides?
How can we use the energy in tides to create electricity?


Contract Week 14 has you designing your own contract that teaches the class more about waves and/or tides.  Good luck and be creative.
