Under the Sea
Deep Sea Exploration
Life exists all around us but we often do not think about its existence in our deep oceans. What types of creatures lurk in its watery depths? The answers may surprise you!
Scientists are working hard to explore this place with marine robots and other new and sophisticated technology. In fact, new discoveries highly depend on applying our science, technology, engineering and math knowledge and skills.
Exploration has led to finding new creatures never seen by humans before and exciting sea floor phenomena. For example, did you know that the ocean floor has deep-sea vents? Also, did you know that plants found in our deep oceans help make products like toothpaste and even ice cream we enjoy!
Come put on your explorer's hat and be a part of this deep sea investigation process!
