Readers join scientists as they descend, foot by foot, in an undersea submersible.
Water covers almost three-quarters of Earth's surface, yet most of us have never seen what lies far beneath the waves. Filled with intriguing facts and colorful illustrations, Exploring the Deep Dark Sea examines the history and the future of undersea exploration. Gibbons even offers a simple timeline that shows the progress of undersea exploration over the last 800 years. After they learn about the creatures that live at different levels of the ocean, challenge children to create their own sea scenes. Shoeboxes make great settings for an ocean scene diorama.
