II. World Map - Label the Ocean basins A. Review the I can statements once again, distribute the Student Worksheet World Map , and have students label the ocean basins. Walk around the classroom and check for understanding and accuracy. B. After students have labeled their world map with the ocean names, engage students in discussion with the following questions:
- Which Ocean is the largest? ( Pacific )
- Which Ocean is between North America and Europe? ( Atlantic )
- Which Ocean is bordered by Africa, Asia, and Australia? ( Indian ) C. Develop the concept that the Ocean is one big system. Refer to the Ocean Literacy Essential Principles to aide in this discussion. http://www.coexploration.org/oceanliteracy/documents/OceanLitChart.pdf All answers are “yes” but responses may lead to class discussion
- Are the ocean basins connected?
- Does the ocean and life in the ocean shape the features of the Earth?
- Is the ocean a major influence on weather and climate?
- Does the ocean make Earth habitable?
- Does the ocean support a great diversity of life and ecosystems?
- Are the ocean and humans interconnected?
- Is the ocean largely unexplored?
III. Coordinate Mapping Longitude and Latitude Note: This activity should not be the first introduction to Longitude and Latitude. The background for this activity is in another content area. A. Show the PowerPoint, Where is Hawai ‘ i? , and using the notes on each slide to teach the lesson. Tell students to take notes in their journals. Have ready copies of the map of your county taken from the power point for each student. Don’t hand out until called for in the PowerPoint. B. Explain the connection between the word long , as it relates to longitude lines running vertical north and south (One trick for remembering: Think of the “O” as a globe, where the “l” wraps around the O, pole to pole), and contrast this with latitude lines, which run horizontally, east and west, parallel to the equator. Latitude is degrees above (N) or below (S) the Equator; longitude is distance east or west of the prime meridian. Both are measured in terms of the 360 degrees (symbolized by °) of a circle. Imaginary lines of latitude and longitude intersect each other, forming a grid that covers the Earth and helps us locate points on it. C. The latitude and longitude of a point are called its coordinates. If you know the coordinates, you can use a map to locate any point on Earth. (Adapted from National Geographic’s Exploring Your World: The Adventure of Geography) D. Have students identify the places listed on the State of Hawai‘iCounty Locations for their county or island. You may also choose other coordinates for students to identify. You may also delete or include more information on the student worksheets depending on time available for the exercise.
Extended Activity: As an extra activity, students could go on Google Maps and type in a set of locations on their table to get a up close look of that exact location. For example Honolulu N21° 18.733’ W157° 50.747’ will pull up the middle of Punchbowl on the Google map. Using other numbers they could find the exact location of their school or home.

The earth’s Ocean Basins
The five ocean basins from largest to smallest are: the Pacific, Atlantic, Indian, Southern, and Arctic.
The Pacific Ocean is the largest and deepest ocean in the world. It covers 63,800,000 square miles (165,200,000 square km), a third of the Earth’s surface. The Pacific Ocean is bigger than all of the Earth’s continents combined. The Pacific was named by Ferdinand Magellan, the Portuguese explorer who found the Pacific very peaceful ( pacifique , in French) for most of his journey from the Straits of Magellan to the Philippines. In contrast to its name, the islands of the peaceful ocean are often slammed by devastating typhoons and hurricanes. The countries that border the Pacific, or the Pacific Rim, often experience volcano eruptions and Earthquakes. The Pacific Ocean is also home to the lowest point on Earth and deepest part of the Ocean known as the Mariana Trench, an area that is 35,800 feet (10,911 meters) below sea level. There are 25,000 Pacific islands in the Pacific Ocean — more than in any other ocean.
The Indian Ocean is the third largest in the world, makes up approximately 20 percent of the Earth’s water surface, and covers approximately 28,356,000 square miles (73,441,700 square kilometers). The deepest spot, south of Java, is 25,344 feet (7,725 meters). Some other geographical features of the ocean include small islands around the continental rims such as Madagascar (the world’s fourth largest island), Comoros, Seychelles, Maldives, Mauritius, Sri Lanka, and Indonesia. Underneath the surface of the Indian Ocean lies the convergence of the African, Indian, and Antarctic plates. The Y-shaped branches of the Mid- Oceanic Ridge mark this convergence.
