Journey from the deepest trenches in the oceans to the farthest humans
have ventured into space and learn what it takes to explore the
extremes. You might just be surprised by how similar the domains of
ASTRONAUTS and AQUANAUTS really are.
Space and the ocean. If you don't think they go together, think again!
Both deep-sea and space explorers have to worry about pressure,
temperature, climate, and most importantly, how to survive in a remote
and hostile environment. Join us on an amazing journey as we go up in
space with astronauts and dive deep down in the ocean with aquanauts to
explore the far-off places of our planet and the solar system.
With a strong tie into STEM topics--such as making connections, making
comparisons, and recognizing patterns across content areas--readers will
discover the amazing science and incredible innovations that allow
humans (and sometimes only machines) to survive in these harsh
environments.
