Directions: You are going to be compiling information from your textbook into an
informational flipbook. This flipbook is going to be helpful to you as we embark upon our
study of OCEANOGRAPHY! There are going to be a total of 6 “flaps” Each “flap” will be a
include details related to the topic of oceanography that you will gain from the reading
within your textbook. Please follow the directions that are laid out within each flap and
HAVE FUN!!!
FLAP #1
Directions: On the first flap you are going to reflect on what you already KNOW about
oceanography, WHAT you want to learn about oceanography and what you will LEARN about
oceanography. This process chart is known as a KWL chart. Cut and paste the chart onto
the first flap along with the ocean images below the chart.
I already KNOW WHAT I want to learn

What I will LEARN
FLAP #2
Directions: On the second flap you will be reading pgs 374- 381 in your science
textbook. You will then cut and paste the following questions onto the second flap
and answer them based on your reading. After filling in the answers to these
questions, please cut and paste the images below the chart onto your second flap.
1. List the FIVE major oceans
2. Why does ocean water taste
salty?
3. In the space below, refer to figure 3 on page 376. Draw this pie chart below labeling both the
ELEMENTS and the PERCENTAGES.
4. How is heat distributed in the surface zone of the ocean?
5. What causes convection currents? 419-421
FLAP #3
Directions: On the third flap you will read pgs 400-405 and answer the following
questions.
1. There are many of ocean . Some of these
are easily , but others are more difficult to .
is pollution that comes from sources rather
than just from a site.
2. pollution is caused by a leaking tanker, a , a treatment is one type of pollution.
is pollution that comes from a site.
3. List THREE different types of ocean pollution.
4. A ship spilled 750,000 barrels of oil when it accidentally struck a reef. The oil company was able to
recover 65% of the oil that was spilled. How many barrels of oil were not recovered? SHOW
YOUR WORK BELOW.
5. Refer to 401-403 about the 3 types of ocean pollution and write an short article about how it
affects the ocean, people, and animals. Here is one website to help with research and remember
to cite your source. http://www.all-recycling-facts.com/3-types-of-pollution.html
FLAP #4
Directions: Read pgs 417- 424and answer the following questions. When finished,
cut and past the diagram showing the different currents off the ocean on the BACK
of flap #4.
1. Horizontal, streamlike movements of water that occur at or near the surface of the ocean are called
. can reach depths of several
hundred meters.
2. are controlled by three factors: , the
, and .
3. Different cause currents to flow in different directions. Near the equator, the winds blow
mostly east to west. Between 30 degrees south latitude and 60 degrees south latitude, winds blow
mostly west to east.
4. The sun heats air near the equator more than it heats air at other latitudes. Pressure differences form
because of these differences in heating. Pressure differences in the atmosphere cause the wind to
blow. So, the sun causes winds to blow, and winds cause surface currents to form.
5. What is the Coriolis Effect?
6. What is a convection current?
7. What are some of the effects of the El Nino weather pattern?
8. A fisher usually catches 540 kg of fish off the coast of Peru. During El Nino, the fisher caught 85% less fish. How many kilograms of fish did the fisher catch during El Nino? SHOW YOUR WORK!
FLAP #5
Directions: On a SEPARATE sheet of paper, answer the chapter review questions
from pgs 438-439. ANSWER ALL QUESTIONS Then paste this piece of paper with
your answers onto flap #5.
FLAP #6
Directions: On the sixth and final flap, you will be writing a narrative about
taking a trip across the Atlantic Ocean. Your journey will start in New
York and end in Ireland; on the other side of the Atlantic Ocean. Write a
NARRATIVE story that describes your journey across the ocean. What types
of marine life do you see on your trip? What type of dangers do you face? How
long does it take you to get there? What are some of the items that you miss
Unpacking the Standards (Unit 6-Processes of the Oceanography)
(Circle the noun(s) and underline the verb(s).) S6E3. Students will recognize the significant role of water in earth processes. S6E6. Students will describe various sources of energy and with their uses and conservation.
S6E5 Students will investigate the scientific view of how the earth’s surface is formed.
Essential Question(s) 1. How is water distributed around the Earth?
2. Where does the salt in the ocean come from?
3. How does the amount of saltwater differ from the amount of freshwater on Earth?
4. What causes water to continually move through the water cycle?
5. How are land features above the oceans similar to ocean floor features?
6. What causes waves, currents, and tides?
Overarching Essential Question How does the location of water on Earth's surface and the conditions of the atmosphere affect its
path through stages of the water cycle?
Enduring Understanding Majority of the Earth's surface is covered with water
Most of the water on the Earth is salt water. Only a small amount is fresh water,
including water in rivers, lakes, underground water, and in the form of ice.
Water cycles on earth as liquid, solid, and vapor.
Water evaporation from the surface of the earth, rises and cools, condenses (forms
clouds) into rain or snow, and falls again to the surface.
Salts have become concentrated in the ocean (sea) because the sun’s heat causes the
evaporation of water, leaving the salts behind.
Ocean currents are caused by wind, salinity, temperature, the Coriolis Effect, and
gravitational pull. Ocean currents flow in predictable patterns around the world.
The ocean floor has plains, mountains, and valleys, which are often larger than those on
dry land.
The moon’s gravitational pull and the spinning of the earth causes ocean water to
bulge, producing tides.
