This term some students from room 10 including myself have chosen to do a science badge. I have chosen to do marine biology because marine life is something that interests me and I have thought about it being my job in the future. Here is one of my tasks to explain the difference between the currents and tides.

The Difference Between Currents and Tides
Tides
There are two major positions for a tide these are high and low tide. This changes when water rises up up the beach and then is pulled back out slowly over a twelve hour period. This is cased gravitational force from the moon
Currents
Current describes the motion of moving water. Currents in close to shore are created by the tides but the currents way out at sea are mainly caused by wind. Currents can often be dangerous because of the water being pulled out to sea or across the beach.
Here is a diagram to show the tides and currents
