Begin the lesson with an engaging introduction to oceanography. Discuss the diverse features of the ocean such as deep trenches and underwater mountains to capture students' interest.

Explain the role and responsibilities of an oceanographer, highlighting the tools and methods they use to collect data.

Use the video 'Why Our Oceans Matter – Quiz Edition' to emphasize the significance of oceans and their impact on global climate and ecosystems.

Facilitate a discussion on the various features of the ocean floor and how oceanographers study them.

Encourage students to explore different scientific disciplines that contribute to oceanography, such as geology, chemistry, biology, and physics.

Conduct a hands-on activity where students create a model of the ocean floor using materials like clay or playdough to represent trenches, mountains, and other features.

Assign students to research a specific oceanographic tool or method and present their findings to the class.

Use the assessment 'The Ocean' to evaluate students' understanding of ocean floor features and their ability to identify and label geographical features.

Have students reflect on the importance of interpreting and communicating oceanographic data, and how it impacts our understanding of the ocean.

Administer the 'Review – Mapping the Earth’s Surface' assessment to test students' comprehension of key concepts related to Earth's surface and ocean features.
