SUMMER 2 -OCEANS

In this geography unit, Why do oceans matter?, pupils will explore the vital role oceans play in our world. They will learn to locate the five oceans using maps and atlases, and develop an understanding of how oceans influence weather and climate, including their role in the water cycle. The unit also introduces children to marine habitats and the diverse life they support, as well as how humans use oceans for food, trade and travel. Alongside this, pupils will investigate the challenges facing our oceans, such as pollution and overfishing, and consider what can be done to protect these important environments. By the end of the unit, children will have a deeper understanding of why oceans are essential to life on Earth and how we can all play a part in caring for them.
