True or False Tides

This science review worksheet supports students in Grades 5, 6, and 7 as they evaluate key statements about ocean tides using a true-or-false format. Students strengthen reading comprehension, factual accuracy, and scientific reasoning as they analyze concepts such as spring and neap tides, tidal frequency, gravitational forces, and the influence of both the Moon and the Sun. A reflection prompt invites learners to connect science to daily life by considering how tides would affect them if they lived near the coast.

Learning Goals

• Tidal Science Understanding (Grades 5-7) – Review accurate information about tides, gravity, and celestial alignment
• Evaluating Scientific Statements – Distinguish correct facts from misconceptions
• Earth-Moon-Sun Relationships – Explain how gravitational forces shape tidal patterns
• Reflective Scientific Thinking – Apply tide knowledge to real-life coastal scenarios

Instructional Benefits

• Teacher-Created Resource – Designed by educators to align with Earth and space science and ELA standards
• Clear True-or-False Format – Makes misconceptions easy to identify and correct
• Reflection Component Included – Encourages personal connection and reasoning
• Flexible Use – Ideal for review lessons, formative assessments, science centers, or homeschool study

This tides worksheet helps students build confidence with ocean science concepts through focused evaluation and reflection. By identifying true and false statements and considering real-world impact, learners strengthen scientific literacy, critical thinking, and personal engagement with Earth science. It’s a simple, no-prep resource for both classroom and homeschool settings that supports accurate understanding of tidal forces and patterns.
