How can we protect our oceans?

﻿Hi everyone, move my screen up, I'm Miss Harris, welcome to today's geography lesson where we are looking at this statement here. We are going to be looking at campaigning to protect the ocean and what's going on at the moment to protect them. Now in today's lesson, we're also going to be recapping the location of the oceans, looking at rubbish in the ocean, how plastic gets into the ocean, what we can do, and then our end of lesson quiz. You will need a piece of paper or an exercise book, a pencil, a coloured pen or pencil, and your brain. If you need to get any of these things, especially your brain, you can pause the video and go and get them now. Well done. So today we are geographers. A geographer is a special type of scientist who studies the earth, the land and the people. What do they study? The earth, the land and the people, well done. Let's take a look at where the five oceans are on the map. I'm going to say and I want you to point to it. Ready? Can you find the Pacific Ocean? Well done, there it is. Can you find the Atlantic Ocean? Well done, there it is. Can you find the Indian Ocean now? Well done, it's near Asia, Australia and Africa. Can you now find the Arctic Ocean, the coldest ocean? There it is, it's near the North Pole. And then can you find the Southern Ocean? And there it is at the bottom, well done. Great job locating the oceans. Let's do our star words, are you ready? My turn then your turn. Recycle. Ocean. Survive. Plastic. Harmful. Protect. Great job. So we have looked at this previously about everything that we do can affect our oceans. And human activities can have an effect on what is going on in the ocean so it can harm our animals, the things we do can harm the animals, it can harm the water as well. It can really contaminate the water and make it not safe for animals to live in. So in your books I would like you to write, what is human activity? Let's read it together. Human mmm, there's a gap, are all the things we mmm in our life. Can you pause the video and write that down for me in gaps? Well done, now pick up your coloured pen or pencil so we can mark. So human activities are all the things that we do in our life. So activities and do are the missing words. If you need to tick them or fix them, maybe you got the answer wrong, you can pause the video and do that now. Great job. Now, all the things that we do affect our oceans. So we've got plastic bags and cotton buds, and we've got fishing and rubbish, pollution, and oil in the ocean. All these things that we do affect the oceans. And we looked particularly at our plastic bags and cotton ear buds being removed from the United Kingdom, slowly being removed so that we can avoid this harming our oceans. So we saw here the ocean. I want you to take a closer look at what you can see here. Take 10 seconds and see if you can spot anything you recognise. So I can see a plastic tub, I see some ropes, really horrible, doesn't it? And in the ocean we have something called a gyre, which is a large rotating current that goes around the ocean like this. And it's where the rubbish spirals around and lots of rubbish collects. And the biggest gyre is in the Pacific Ocean called the Great Pacific Garbage Patch. We learned that it's twice the size the United Kingdom. So, how does plastic get into the ocean? We're going to look at the cycle from the plastic being created to how it ends up in the ocean. So I'm going to tell you how plastic gets into the ocean. So first, plastic is being made in a factory. So a plastic can be lots of shapes and sizes. Plastic is a really good material because you can make loads of different things out of it. So then an item is made, so let's say it's a plastic bottle. It could be a pen or a cup, or it could be a toy, it could be anything, a plastic bag, wrapping. So then lots of our food is wrapped in plastic as well to protect our food. We then go to the supermarket and we buy these materials, these things which are made out of plastics, you might buy a toy that's made out of plastic or some food that's wrapped in plastic. We then either use the toy or eat the food and we put the wrapping in the bin. This can then sometimes get blown into the ocean. So sometimes fish might think that this is food, so they might eat it. So if they eat it, sometimes they can die after eating the plastic because it can fill up their tummy and make them really poorly, so then the fish dies. Or, what can happen is after the fish has eaten the food, we then go fishing for the fish, we then eat the fish that's got plastic inside it's tummy. Now this isn't for all fish, but some fish, especially in these areas where there's lots of rubbish, this is the cycle that can happen. So we have to be really careful about what do we do with our rubbish to make sure that our plastic gets recycled or that we just don't buy it because we can teach others and adults and our friends and our family that when we go to the supermarket, instead of buying something that's got plastic wrapped around it, we can see if we can find an alternative, something that isn't wrapped in plastic. So in your books, I would like you to draw the cycle of plastic. Pause the video and draw this cycle now. Okay. So, hmm, what can I do? What can you do? What can Miss Harris do, so that we can reduce the plastic waste and protect our oceans? So the government, the people who are in charge of our country and looking after it, they have said that plastic bags are now 5p, so we want to get rid of those. We want to start using reusable bags that we can use more often. And they've slowly removing cotton buds that we clean ears with that have a plastic stick, a stem, and plastic straws, so now we can buy paper straws. So next time you're in the supermarket you can remind your parent or carer to take their usable bags. But hmm, have a look here. This side we've got lots of food wrapped in plastic, and the other side, we can see that there are loads of fruits and vegetables without plastic. What could you say to the grownup, if they pick up these apples that my pink arrow's pointing to? What could you say to them if you see them pick up something with a plastic bag wrapped around it, what could you say? Can you tell your screen? So you could say, hmm, why don't we find some apples without the plastic bag! That's okay, because you can put them in your trolley and you can wash them when you get home. Or, you can carry a reusable bag and put them in there and then when you go to pay, you take them out and then you put them back in. Because, did you know that animals in the ocean eat our plastic? So we could just not buy it. And then, eventually hopefully the big supermarkets will stop wrapping our food in plastic to protect it because sometimes it's not needed. Now, what else could you do? You could teach other people about recycling. You can learn what each type of material is and where it needs to go, which bin it needs to go in, because maybe you don't have recycling bins where you live, and maybe you can ask your family or your parent or carer, if you can get some so that you can start recycling, because we can recycle jars, metals, we can recycle glass bottles, we can recycle plastic wrapping as well sometimes. And in the picture you can see here, you can put your food waste, so instead of putting food in the bin, you can put it in a special food waste bin. Okay, let's do a true or false. Are you ready? I'm going to read the statements to you and I want you to tell me whether it's true or false. Are you ready? We can only buy fruits and vegetables wrapped in plastic. Is that true or is that false? Tell your screen. It's false. We can buy frozen vegetables without plastic. You can find them in the supermarkets or you could go to a fruit and vegetable shop. So the next one. The government are reducing plastic straws and cotton buds. Is that true or is that false? Can you tell your screen. It's true, they are reducing our plastic straws and cotton buds that we clean our ears with. And the last one, I can learn about recycling and help at home. Is that true or is that false? It's true. You can learn about recycling and you can help out at home. You've worked super-duper hard today, well done. If you would like to share your work with us, you can ask your parent or carer to share it on our social media on Instagram, Facebook or Twitter, tagging @OakNational and #LearnwithOak. But remember, you must ask your parent or carer to do it for you. I hope you have a wonderful rest of your day and I'll see you next time. Bye.

Well done! You have worked so hard! Let's see how much you can remember...
