Explorers All About Tides

Explorers All About Tides

Did you ever wonder what causes high tides, low tides, spring tides and neap tides… and why the tide changes daily… and how to read a tide table… Check out Explorers All About Tides and see how the tides are influenced by the sun, moon and the earth – not giant sea monsters breathing!

Tara and Ruari from the Explorers team head down to the beach and explain how tides work. They look at the different types of tides, moon phases and tides, gravity and tides. They also look at tide words as gaeilge and ideas for lesson plans and activities using tides as a theme for a class project.
