This easy worksheet helps second graders sort big world words into the right groups. In Part A, students decide whether Australia, Antarctica, and Asia are continents and whether Southern, Atlantic, and Arctic are oceans. Part B has fill-in-the-blanks about how the equator divides Earth into hemispheres, why the Arctic is the smallest ocean, and the thin strip of land linking North and South America.

Part C finishes with true or false questions about the five oceans, the size of Europe, and whether the Southern Ocean sits near the North Pole. Kids leave with stronger map vocabulary and a clearer mental picture of where land meets water on our planet.
