Cloze Passage

This fill-in-the-blank passage guides students through a summary of how the Moon causes tides. Using a word bank, learners insert missing vocabulary such as moon, tides, spring, neap, highest, and lowest to complete the text. The paragraph explains gravitational pull, alignment of the Sun, Earth, and Moon, and the differences between high and low tides. The extension question asks why understanding spring and neap tides helps coastal communities, integrating science with real-world application.
