The image is a worksheet titled
"A Globe for Zeke and Wanda", designed to teach children about the Earth's geography using a globe. The task involves identifying different areas on a globe, specifically continents and oceans.
Task:
Help Zeke and Wanda name the different areas shown on the globe.
---
What’s Shown on the Globe:
From the image, the following labeled areas are visible:
1.
North America – Located at the top of the globe.
2.
South America – Below North America.
3.
Atlantic Ocean – Between North and South America and Europe/Africa (though not fully visible).
4.
Pacific Ocean – To the west of North and South America.
---
Solution:
The student is expected to identify and possibly label these areas:
-
Continents: North America, South America
-
Oceans: Atlantic Ocean, Pacific Ocean
If the worksheet has blank spaces or lines near each area, the child should write the correct names in those spaces.

Bonus Box Question:
> "A globe is round and shows all of the earth. Why doesn’t a picture of a globe show all of the earth?"
####
Answer:
Because a
picture of a globe is a
flat 2D image of a
round 3D object. Just like how you can't see all sides of a ball at once, a photo of a globe only shows
one hemisphere (half of the Earth) at a time. The other side of the globe is hidden from view in the picture.
So, even though the globe itself shows all of the Earth, a
photo or drawing of it only captures part of it — usually the front-facing side.

Educational Purpose:
This worksheet teaches:
- Basic geography (continents and oceans)
- Understanding that globes represent Earth accurately in 3D
- The limitation of 2D representations of 3D objects
---
✔ Final Answer Summary:
-
Label the areas:
- North America
- South America
- Atlantic Ocean
- Pacific Ocean
-
Bonus Answer: A picture of a globe doesn’t show all of the Earth because it only shows one side; the rest is behind and not visible.
Parent Tip: Review the logic above to help your child master the concept of globe worksheet.
