    • Can Climb, Can’t Climb

      You can climb to the top of a rock that is fifty feet high. You can’t climb to the top of the same rock later. You can’t even see the rock! It’s gone! What is going on?

      The rock is in the Bay of Fundy. The Bay of Fundy is in Canada. It is on the East Coast. The time between a high tide and a low tide is about six hours. During high tide, water flows in. When it is low tide, water flows out.

      The tides at the Bay of Fundy are some of the highest on the planet. Think of all the freshwater rivers in the world. Every tide, more water than the combined flow of the world’s freshwater rivers flows into the bay!
