Differentiate between the saltwater of the ocean to the freshwater of lakes and rivers.
7. Compare and contrast the spatial difference of the ocean water to that of the continents as it relates to the Earth.
MEAP VOCABULARY - ocean, sea, continent, theory, freshwater, salinity, lake, river, underground water, oceanography.
MATERIALS: text book, transparencies, large wall mounted world map, ocean informational handouts, “Label the Earth’s Oceans” worksheets, “Continents and Oceans Quiz”, paper, pen, pencils, .
BELL WORK - “Do Now”: “How would the ocean look if it were all dry land?”
GUIDED PRACTICE: Read and work with students to interpret information from text (pg. 181) and ocean handouts. Work with students to analyze and hypothesize the origin of oceans theories.
INDEPENDENT PRACTICE: Students will work in groups of four to define vocabulary words (ocean, sea, theory, freshwater, salinity, lake, river, underground water, oceanography). Student groups will complete “Label the Earth’s Oceans”.
CLOSURE: Review and discuss oceans.
SUMMARY/EVALUATION: Constructed response.
