In October 2002, marine scientists from the University of Delaware will lead Extreme 2002: Mission to the Abyss — an expedition to hydrothermal vent sites nearly 2 miles deep on the Pacific Ocean floor. Teachers and their classes, grades 6 –12, are invited to participate in this unique educational experience through an interactive Web site, printed curriculum, video documentary, and evaluation materials. One of the highlights will be a conference phone call between selected classrooms and scientists working live aboard the submarine Alvin. The project is supported by the National Science Foundation and the University of Delaware. |
