Make Your Own Deep-Sea Vent

In this activity, learners make a model of the hot water of a deep sea vent in the cold water of the ocean to learn about one of the ocean's most amazing and bizarre underwater habitats. This quick activity utilizes simple materials and can be conducted as a demonstration for large groups. Included in this activity guide is useful background information about underwater vents and research associated with life in these environments....
