As this Curriculum Collection on the American Museum of Natural History notes, the deep oceans really are Earth's last undiscovered frontier. The teacher resources available here are designed to perk up students' energy and galvanize their interest in the strangest of earthly environments: deep sea vents. Readers will find articles, activities, and reference lists on a host of sea vent-related topics. For instance, there is a deep sea vent reading list, a deep sea vent web list, and articles about several marine geologists, as well as the process and perils of deep sea exploration. Educators may find the activities - such as "Under Pressure," a classroom exercise that requires nothing more than a soda bottle and some water - especially engaging and helpful.
