How to Study Our Watery World:
Step 1: Go to your library and find some books on oceans and rivers.
Step 2: Compare similarities and contrast the differences between the two by creating a chart or writing a report. Where can you find a whale or dolphin? A trout or catfish? How many ways can we protect these valuable bodies of water?
Step 3: Draw pictures to accompany the charts or reports on what you've learned.
You may already know that the world's highest mountain is Mount Everest, measuring an enormous 29,028 feet. But did you know that there is a place in the Pacific Ocean where the water is so deep that Mount Everest would be covered completely if it was moved there? That place is called the "Mariana Trench," and the water is 36,198 feet deep. |
