underwater exploration

Presents an adaptation of the classic novel in which a French professor and his companions, trapped aboard a fantastic submarine with the mad Captain Nemo, come face to face with exotic ocean creatures and strange sights hidden from the world above.

On the night of April 14, 1912, as it made its first voyage, the luxury steamship Titanic struck an iceberg. Then, a few hours after midnight on April 15, the ship sank thousands of feet before settling on the ocean floor. And that's where it stayed, whereabouts unknown, for the next 73 years until it was discovered by oceanographer Robert Ballard and his crew. The pictures and video Ballard brought back from the 1985 discovery helped stir new interest in the Titanic's voyage and its resting spot.

Scientists estimate that less than 5 percent of the ocean has been explored. That leaves a lot to be discovered and a large amount of people needed to make those discoveries. Readers dive deep into the research being done under the ocean and the many STEM career possibilities for those interested in such research. Full-color photographs of the latest technology and scientists at work show readers an exciting world they can be part of. In addition, the main content discusses many STEM topics related to the ocean, including habitats, biodiversity, pollution, and climate change.

Provides a biography of Sarah Mather who invented the first underwater telescope. Includes color photographs, a glossary, further resources, and critical thinking questions and activities.
