ocean literacy

In oceanography we had to research an explorer. We studied the ocean by learning about the explorers. By learning about explorers we learned about their findings in the ocean and about how they navigated. We learned about the new land that was found and new tools such as the compass. By learning this we learned more about the ocean but in a different way. Now after this assignment is done, I know background information about the ocean. I know about all the discoveries found in the ocean that we will learn more in-depth about later on. I feel like this assignment helped us get ready and already have the basic information on the things we will be studying in the future.
