Description
This activity helps students to see the connection between the moon phases and the height of Tides. In this activity students are required to graph the height of the highest tides and the lowest tides of each day given. Then they compare that with the calendar for the new and full moons. The patterns help them discover the relationship between moon phases and tides. Excellent reinforcer of graphing skills with a science connection.

CCSS6.SP.A.2
Understand that a set of data collected to answer a statistical question has a distribution which can be described by its center, spread, and overall shape.
CCSS6.SP.B.4
Display numerical data in plots on a number line, including dot plots, histograms, and box plots.
CCSS6.SP.B.5
Summarize numerical data sets in relation to their context, such as by:
CCSS8.SP.A.4
Understand that patterns of association can also be seen in bivariate categorical data by displaying frequencies and relative frequencies in a two-way table. Construct and interpret a two-way table summarizing data on two categorical variables collected from the same subjects. Use relative frequencies calculated for rows or columns to describe possible association between the two variables. For example, collect data from students in your class on whether or not they have a curfew on school nights and whether or not they have assigned chores at home. Is there evidence that those who have a curfew also tend to have chores?
