Pacific, Atlantic, Indian, Southern and Arctic name regions of one connected global ocean. The Pacific is largest; the Arctic is smallest and very cold. A flat map can split the Pacific at its edges, but Earth has no water-blocking edge there. Safety: Paper map only; no travel or water activity. Stop: Stop at the schematic map; no atlas, account, globe purchase or download is required.

Materials: Paper; Pencil 1. Draw a wide rectangle with north at the top. Make a simple world outline: North and South America down the left third; Europe above Africa in the middle; Asia across the upper right; Australia below eastern Asia; Antarctica as a land band along the bottom. Leave a broad water band between Antarctica and the other continents. Label all land shapes. This is a location sketch, not accurate coastlines or area. 2. Place the ocean names using this key: Atlantic between the Americas and Europe/Africa; Indian south of Asia between Africa and Australia; Pacific west of the Americas and east of Asia/Australia; Arctic around the North Pole above the northern continents; Southern around Antarctica. Put Pacific at both map edges. 3. Draw an imaginary water route from the Atlantic south of Africa into the Indian Ocean, then south into the Southern Ocean and toward the Pacific. Do not draw through land. Explain why naming regions does not build walls in the water. 4. Point to and name at least three ocean regions on your sketch. Then say all five names. Add largest beside Pacific and smallest beside Arctic. Done: The sketch has five ocean labels, two Pacific edge labels and a land-avoiding connection route. Proof: Keep the labelled sketch. Record whether an adult supplied locations or the learner used the printed location key. Stop: Stop at the schematic map; no atlas, account, globe purchase or download is required.
