Tidal Vocabulary Match Answer Key

Students match vocabulary terms-High Tide, Low Tide, Spring Tide, and Neap Tide-to their correct definitions. Each definition describes conditions such as alignment of the Sun, Earth, and Moon, or the strength of tide differences. A short writing prompt asks learners to explain one of the terms in their own words and describe its impact on coastal life. The task reinforces scientific language and comprehension while applying vocabulary to real-world examples.
