6TH GRADE

•understand that gravity is the force that governs the motion of our solar system

8TH GRADE

8.7C: relate the position of the Moon and Sun to their effect on ocean tides.

EARTH & SPACE SCIENCE

•analyze how global ocean circulation is the result of wind, tides, the Coriolis effect, water density differences, and the shape of the ocean basins.

• Gravity is the force that governs the motion of our solar system.

2014 MOY II Question: 8.7C

2014 MOY II Question: 8.7C

Based on the data and distractors, what key points should teachers emphasize during lessons?

• A neap tide is in a STRAIGHT line.

• A spring tide is at RIGHT ANGLES.

• The position of the bodies in space dictate the type of tide.

• Optional Activities

Higher level questions• “Research shows there’s a link between critical thinking skills and increased student achievement in the

classroom.” (Moore & Stanley, 2010)

• Higher level questions must be planned in order to be implemented effectively in the classroom.

• Levels of Questions

• Knowledge

• Comprehension

• Application

• Analysis

• Synthesis

• Evaluation

• Plan and provide a variety of questions at each level and build student knowledge and critical thinking by providing Higher Level Questions.

Lower Levels of questions

Higher Levels of questions

Knowledge Comprehension Application Analysis Synthesis Evaluate

Draw an illustration representing the position of the

Sun, Earth, and moon during a

spring tide.

Draw an illustration representing the position of the

Sun, Earth, and moon during a

neap tide.

What causes the changes in water

levels in the earth’s bodies of

water?

Compare and contrast spring and

neap tides.

How does the moon cause tides

on Earth?

Create a model to represent the

positions of Sun, Earth, and moon

during a spring/neap tide.

How does the motion of the

Sun, Earth, and Moon affect the environment?

How does gravity effect the

organization and motion of the solar system?

Why would people be

interested in knowing the time of tides and the phases of the

moon?

What would happen to the tides

on Earth if the moon revolved around Earth at the same speed

that Earth rotates?

Justify your answer.

Anchors of SupportOther Resources•Interactive Word Wall- Current, working models with student contributions

• Interactive Word Walls Article: http://learningcenter.nsta.org/files/ss1103_45.pdf

• “Word walls can be arranged on cupboard doors or classroom walls, or hung from the ceiling with wire and string.”

• “Maximum instructional potential and efficiency are achieved when interactive word-wall construction is aligned with lessons and students are allowed to participate in the process. As a result, walls are usually built over many days and are finished as a unit nears completion. Word walls support units and are changed or replaced as units change.”
