Exploring the Ocean
Know that oceanographers and marine biologists study the ocean using submarines, remotely operated vehicles (ROVs), satellites, and diving, and that much of the ocean remains unexplored — we know more about the Moon's surface than the deep ocean floor
Teaching approaches
Gakuva’s recommended starting approach is selected. You can still compare every option.
1 approach
Can your child explain how scientists explore the deep ocean using robots and submarines, and why we've still only explored a small fraction of the ocean floor — less than we know about the Moon?
