🤔 SCIENCE 🤔

IALT: Talk about what I learnt during our previous science lesson!

Ni Hao and greetings to you all...

WELCOME BACK TO MY BLOG!

So I forgot to mention but in my previous session, we learnt about Tides. We watched a video about how tides work and discussed about the key words that were in the video, my group and I knew some of the words but then also didn't know some of the other words. 

The key words were .. Centrifugal Force, Gravitational, Bulge, Surface, Moon, Sun and Earth, Tides, and Rotation.

We also had to fill in a digital worksheet that were shared to us by Ms. Fepulea'i, Here it is!

TIDAL PHENOMENON

What is a Tide?

A tide is not just the Rise and Fall of ocean water.  Tide is the movement of water caused by complex interactions between the Gravitational and Rotational forces of the Earth, Moon and Sun.

The combined Forces cause the oceans to Bulge out in the direction of the Moon.  As the Earth rotates around its Axis, the bulge is directly in line with the Moon. The Earth rotates a few times Faster than the Water bulge, therefore the solid Earth moves towards the water bulge.  

Observing the tide from Earth, you might think that the water goes to the Earth’s Surface.  When in fact it’s the Earth’s Surface that meets the water bulge.

Now you know what tides are and how they occur.
