Where Did They Come From?

Give science learners nine questions about the biogeography of hydrothermal vents and turn them loose to research this fascinating habitat. Working in cooperative groups, they prepare a report that addresses each of the questions. A plethora of resource links are included for groups to glean information from! Versatile in subject matter, this lesson plan can be used in a biology when exploring habitats, or in earth science when covering plate tectonics or ocean-bottom features.
