Is There More Water Or Land On Earth?

We were wondering if there is more water or land in the world, so we decided to find out. This was great as we could integrate our Term 2 topic and maths. To do this we covered a map of the world with counters. We used one colour to represent the water and another colour to represent the land on earth. We then counted all the counters to see which colour there was more of. Many of us were surprised to find there is more WATER in the world than land.
