I was recently reading the March/April 2022 issue of \u201cScience & Children\u201d a publication of the National Science Teaching Association.\xa0\xa0In this issue, I read the Formative Assessment column, written by Page Keeley.\xa0\xa0She wrote an article entitled, \u201cUncovering Student Ideas About Earth\u2019s Defining Feature: The Ocean.\u201d

Earth\u2019s ocean is the defining feature of our planet.\xa0\xa0Principle #1 of the \u201cOcean Literacy Framework\u201d states the Earth has one big ocean with many features.\xa0\xa0But research shows that both children and adults believe a common misconception that the oceans are not connected and act alone.
