About this worksheet
Assess what your students truly understand about ocean tides with this print-ready quiz, built for NGSS MS-ESS1-1 and grades 6-8. This 20-point assessment goes beyond recall and asks students to use the Sun-Moon-Earth model to explain why tides happen and why they change size.
The quiz is organized into five clearly spaced parts: multiple choice, true or false, vocabulary matching, a read-the-diagram section using a two-bulge diagram, and a constructed-response section. Questions cover the cause of tides, the two daily high tides, spring versus neap tides, the keystone far-side bulge, and the 50-minute daily shift, so the assessment reviews the whole unit.
A complete answer key is included, with correct choices marked and sample responses for the written items, so grading is fast and consistent. Everything prints cleanly in black and white. Pair it with the other resources in the tides unit for a full teach, practice, and assess sequence.
