Overview

The Challenging Part

The most challenging requirement of this honor is probably this:

1. Do one of the following:

a. If you live near tidal waters, keep charts for one month showing the time of high and low tides, neap tides, and spring tides.

b. Build a tidal clock which will show high and low tide for the average tide day and can be set to ring at various tide levels. Clocks cannot be made to correspond with areas having irregular tide flow. These clocks can be made by taking an old clock and slowing the mechanism to correspond with the 24 hour, 50 minutes, 28 second tidal day (your would divide this in half to compare with the 12 hour period that a clock shows).
