Fishermen, Sailors, and Tides

This writing-based worksheet connects scientific understanding of tides to real-world professions like fishing and sailing. Students imagine they are a fisherman or sailor in a coastal town and write a short paragraph explaining why knowledge of tides is essential for safety, travel, and daily work routines. The reflection extension asks whether modern technology has reduced the importance of understanding natural tidal cycles. The activity promotes application of science concepts through personal and occupational perspective-taking.
