Show Notes

I was recently reading the March/April 2022 issue of "Science & Children" a publication of the National Science Teaching Association. In this issue, I read the Formative Assessment column, written by Page Keeley. She wrote an article entitled, "Uncovering Student Ideas About Earth's Defining Feature: The Ocean."

Earth's ocean is the defining feature of our planet. Principle #1 of the "Ocean Literacy Framework" states the Earth has one big ocean with many features. But research shows that both children and adults believe a common misconception that the oceans are not connected and act alone.
