Moon Phase and Tide Match Answer Key

Learners match Moon phases (New, Full, First Quarter, Third Quarter) with their corresponding tide types (Spring or Neap). The passage explains how alignment or right-angle positioning affects the strength of tides. An extension question encourages reasoning about why the Sun’s position amplifies or weakens these effects. This worksheet combines reading comprehension, matching, and scientific reasoning.
