**Dive to the Abyss**

Instructions

Your goal is to explore three main zones as you descend into the deep ocean: the twilight zone between 200m and 1000m, the dark zone between 1000m and 4000m and the abyssal plain at 4000m.

As you descend, you have 10 minutes to collect a total of nine deep sea animals, as outlined in the list of dive objectives provided by Captain Fothergill. You’ll be awarded points for each one you correctly sample and label.

To drive your sub and find the animals, drag your cursor up, down, left and right and you’ll be able to move around the screen. You can click on the animals to find out more about them.

If you think they’re relevant to your dive objectives, press the ‘Take sample’ button and add them to your selection. Then identify the correct label by picking one from the 'Select Category' option.

You can check your dive objectives and re-read the instructions at any time by clicking on the appropriate button.

After 10 minutes, you’ll be transported back to the surface for a debrief by Captain Fothergill, and a chance to top up your score.

You can take the dive again and you’ll have a different selection of objectives.

Students will be required to build one side of the bridge by March 30. This will be marked on construction quality. Students can then decide whether they want to complete a bridge, and if they decide that they do, I will register any students wanting to complete a bridge by March 29. After Friday, March 30, the bridge building will be a home project. Students should bring their completed bridges to Selkirk by April 12, so I can transport them to Porter Creek for the competition. = __**March 19 to 23**__ =
