We're in Hot Water Now: Hydrothermal Vents
Description:
Hydrothermal vents are geysers located on the ocean floor in the deep sea. Students will first use National Geographic's Fantastic Journeys: Yellowstone to learn about the processes that drive geysers. They will then see photographs of some hydrothermal vents. Students will discuss the reasons hydrothermal vents occur and learn about some uniquely adapted animals that live near the vents. They will conclude by creating aquarium exhibits showcasing some of these animals and their special adaptations.
