[SEMCO] WHOI Dive and Discover Expedition to Gulf of Mexico Begins Dec. 6

[Jeffrey Brodeur]

Dive and Discover is going to the Gulf of Mexico and your students are
invited to come along. Scientists from Pennsylvania State University,
Temple University, Haverford College, and Woods Hole Oceanographic
Institution will use the deep-sea submersibles Alvin and Sentry to
explore the ocean floor for signs of impact on deep-ocean ecosystems by
the recent oil spill.

The online adventure gives your students access to daily posts from Alvin¹s
support ship, R/V Atlantis, that report on the
excitement and challenge of research at sea, life aboard ship, and breaking
news of what the scientists find each day.

Students can also delve deeper into topics related to life in the ocean and
email 
questions to researchers on board.

Take your classroom to sea this semester‹the adventure begins December 6,
2010.
