Teacher Notes

This video can help pupils learn about the physical geography of the Earth.

Teachers can use the film to introduce how the landmass of Earth is grouped into seven continents and the main areas of sea into five oceans.

It is also an effective tool to reinforce pupils鈥 understanding of continents and oceans and where they are located.

Points for discussion:

  • What are the seven continents? (North America, South America, Asia, Africa, Europe, Oceania, Antarctica.)
  • What are the five oceans? (Pacific Ocean, Atlantic Ocean, Indian Ocean, Southern Ocean, Arctic Ocean.)
  • Can pupils place these features on a base map?
  • What is the weather and climate like in different areas of Earth? And why?

Suggested activities:

After watching the film, teachers could use a base map to explore the make up of the world and where the features explored in the video are located.

Pupils could try match photographs of different places on Earth to their locations on a continent or ocean. Pupils can then explain why they believe these places are in the locations they have chosen.

When starting a new unit or topic that relates to a geographical location, teachers could use the film to show the location on the globe.

The film is also a useful way to bring key location knowledge into every unit or topic studied.

Suitable for teaching geography at KS1 and KS2 in England and Wales, Early and 1st and 2nd level in Scotland and Foundation and KS1 in Northern Ireland.
