Our world is a really big place with lots of land, water, and space. Did you know there are five oceans on our Earth? Let’s learn about them together!
Let’s sing the names of the oceans:
These are the five oceans on our Earth. Let’s explore each one!
The Atlantic Ocean is like a big, watery road between the Americas on the west side and Africa and Europe on the east side. It’s the second largest ocean and is home to many sea animals like dolphins and whales!
The Pacific Ocean is the biggest ocean of all! It stretches from the Americas on the east side to Australia and Asia on the west side. It’s so big that it’s even larger than all the continents put together!
The Indian Ocean is surrounded by Africa on the west, Australia on the east, and Asia on the north. It wraps around the country of India and is known for having busy ports where ships come and go.
The Arctic Ocean is the smallest ocean and is found around the North Pole. It’s surrounded by Eurasia and North America and has the coldest water. Brrr, it’s chilly up there!
The Southern Ocean, also called the Antarctic Ocean, is the southernmost ocean in the world. It’s the youngest ocean, being only 30 million years old. That’s pretty young for an ocean!
Our world is a big, big place with lots of land, water, and space. Remember, there are five oceans on our Earth:
These oceans make our planet a wonderful place to explore and learn about!
Ocean in a Bottle: Create your own mini ocean! You’ll need a clear plastic bottle, water, blue food coloring, and a little bit of cooking oil. Fill the bottle halfway with water, add a few drops of blue food coloring, and then pour in some oil. Seal the bottle tightly and shake it gently. Watch how the oil and water move like waves in the ocean. Discuss with your friends or family how this is similar to the real ocean and what animals might live in these waters.
Ocean Animal Match: Draw or print pictures of different sea animals like dolphins, whales, and fish. Match each animal to the ocean they are most commonly found in. For example, dolphins can be found in the Atlantic Ocean. Talk about why certain animals might live in specific oceans. What do they eat? How do they stay warm or cool?
Ocean Explorer Walk: Take a walk around your neighborhood or a nearby park and pretend you are an ocean explorer. Look for things that remind you of the ocean, like puddles, streams, or even the sky. Imagine what it would be like to explore the different oceans. What would you see? What sounds would you hear? Share your adventure story with your class or family.
