Honors: Tides

Today we talked about tides and black holes. If you missed the notes, the Wikipedia acticle on tides is quite good. For our class, we care about what causes the basic tides, spring tides, and neap tides. You will not be held responsible for all the details in the Wikipeida article...although the whole subject is quite fascinating.

I also found a pretty good video that explains the tides well. You can view it here.

Here is a video we watched of the very dramatic tides in the Bay Of Fundy.
