invited to come along. Scientists from Pennsylvania State University, <BR>
Temple University, Haverford College, and Woods Hole Oceanographic <BR>
Institution will use the deep-sea submersibles Alvin and Sentry to <BR>
explore the ocean floor for signs of impact on deep-ocean ecosystems by <BR>
the recent oil spill. <BR>
<BR>
The online adventure gives your students access to daily posts from Alvin’s support ship, R/V Atlantis, that report on the <BR>
excitement and challenge of research at sea, life aboard ship, and breaking news of what the scientists find each day. <BR>
<BR>
Students can also delve deeper into topics related to life in the ocean and email <BR>
questions to researchers on board.<BR>
<BR>
Take your classroom to sea this semester—the adventure begins December 6, 2010.<BR>
