Dive
and Discover--Expeditions to the Seafloor:
Expedition 4 March 27-May 5, 2001
Join the R/V Knorr as it embarks on a 40-day journey to the Indian Ocean. Scientists
aboard the ship will be investigating hydrothermal vents in the mid-ocean ridge.
They will use a variety of instruments, including submersible vehicles. This
website has a great glossary, slide shows, videos, and daily updates. One can
send email to the scientists aboard the ship. The latitude and longitude of
the ship will be posted on the website. A map is provided so that the ship can
be tracked. (Great math exercises!!) Look under "Deeper Discovery-Teacher
Resources" for information about ordering an "Educator's Companion"
set of activities. Adult learners have enjoyed participating in past Dive and
Discover expeditions.
