Tides Resource Post

This resource was very useful because of the in depth explanation of each part of tides. He explains the different types of tides (spring and neap), and also depicts when each of them occur. Many animations were used to explain the tides as well as why we have the tidal bulge.  Tides occur because the moon pulls the ocean up towards it and the ocean is then spread thinner causing low tides in the middle, and since Earth is pulled up by the moon also there is high tide on the opposite side. Tides are caused because there is a difference in forces on each side of the Earth. Tides change every 6 hours, so there will be 2 high tides and 2 low tides per day. Tides are very dependent on the moons and its alignment with the sun. When all three of us are lined up, we get spring tides, causing higher high tides and low low tides. On the other hand a neap tide is when we form a ninety degree angle and the sun negates some of the moon's pull on the ocean. This causes low high tides and high low tides. Right now on Fripp Island in South Carolina, they are experiencing a high tide, but in an hour it will be low tide. The moon is approaching a new moon and is currently in its last quarter.

Resource Post

This video helped me understand Newton's Third Law much better because the professor did several examples in everything he explained, and also asked questions as to why certain things happened. It allowed me to visualize each concept and see why things happened. For example, leaning on the table standing versus leaning on the table on a skateboard. He has each of his objects handy and didn't have to waste anytime to get them out. He was efficient in explaining and got a lot done in a short amount of time. At the same time, this isn't always the best route because often times students are confused and it'd be easier to slow down for those who didn't catch everything he says. Plus they wouldn't have to backtrack if someone was lost. This is a college course, but looking in as a high school student, this is a different way of teaching.
