Tidal Sequence Answer Key

This sequencing worksheet helps students order events that explain how different Moon phases affect the strength of ocean tides. Learners rearrange six statements into the correct order, illustrating how new/full moons cause spring tides and quarter moons cause neap tides. A challenge question invites them to explain why people living near the ocean often track the Moon’s phase. This encourages understanding of lunar cycles and critical thinking about human-environment interaction.
