1. Oceans and Marine Habitats

2. Oceans and water cover 75% of the earth
100’s of types of animals live in the water.
Before we can discover what these animals are and how they live we must first think about where they live.
There are 5 oceans around the world;
The Atlantic Ocean
The Pacific Ocean
The Arctic Ocean
The Southern Ocean
The Indian Ocean

4. On a map it is easy to tell where the oceans are.
This is because they have 3 useful things;
Colours
Labels
A key

5. Colours Why are they useful? You can tell things apart easier.
For example
Here is a square and a circle
Here is a green square and a blue circle.

6. A Key Keys are used to unlock things.
A key for a map does the same job!
The information in a key helps a person to identify things on a map.
For example; here is a map of our classroom
Here is the key.
Our Cloakroom
The Horse Table
The Bat table

7. Our Task!
We are going to be adding colour and a key to our own map to help us know where the oceans are. We are going to colour the oceans blue. We are going to colour the land green.
