  1. Life in the Deep Sea Introduction Task Process Evaluation Conclusion

  2. Introduction Did you know that there are places on earth that to this day remain undiscovered? In fact, we know more about the surface of the moon than the depths of our oceans! Animals and plants that live in the deepest parts of the ocean look very different from anything that exist on its surface. In your quest, you will observe the sea’s different life forms, figure out why these creatures have these adaptations, and then create a new species!

  3. Task An urgent letter has just arrived for you. Please check your mail by clicking on the icon.

  4. Welcome aboard!

  5. Congratulations on your new title of deep-sea researcher! Please take this booklet from the Underwater Labs company and read it on your way over. You should know what you are getting yourself into!

  6. Process As I am sure you already know, all of the plants and animals on earth are part of a delicate balance. This is known as the ecosystem. We have a lot of information about the ecosystems on land, but we do not know much about the ecosystems at the bottom of the sea. That is why we are sending you down there!

  7. Here is what you need to do: • Find out how to travel to the site. • Using your choice, travel to the depths. • Research several different types of plants and animals, paying special attention to adaptations. (Click here to review the definition of “adaptation.”) • Show Underwater Labs what you have learned. • Create a new species that can survive there in order to try and repair the damage to the ecosystem.

  8. Click on the ROV-remotely operated underwater vehicle-to send it down to the deep sea!

  9. Wow, look at these amazing creatures! Explore the various types of videos, photographs, and other types of data gathered about these creatures. You should spend a lot of time researching!

  10. A good scientist takes notes! Get a pen and paper ready or open this document to record observations.

  11. Great job exploring! If there are any plants or animals you missed, or would like to know more about, check out these great fact files!

  12. Time to bring the ROV up!

  13. Evaluation Since the ecosystem has been damaged, our lab came up with an idea. We need you to create 3 things to replace parts of the destroyed deep sea environment - one plant, one prey animal, and one predator. Remember, they all must be able to live in their environment! Clickhereto experiment with different fish in deep water. Use your data and what you know about animal adaptations to create your creatures.

  14. Thank you for your cooperation student scientist. We look forward to developing your new species and putting them into the ecosystem. Please be sure to include detailed explanations of your creatures and any important information about their features.

  15. Conclusion You did such a wonderful job on this project that the Underwater Lab company has decided to let you have some fun with their ROV! Enjoy!

  16. Thank you for the work you’ve done on this project. We look forward to reading your report. As a token of thanks, we have made all our equipment available to you. Click on the items below to continue exploring! BBC NOAA My Submarine We look forward to working with you again sometime!
