The Aquatic Research Interactive's Project AquaQuest series is a live, interactive distance learning curriculum. Furthermore, it is a standards-based program that provides students and educators with unprecedented opportunities to extend the traditional student - teacher relationship beyond the walls of the classroom.
Program content is designed to integrate distance learning instruction within existing curricula to provide direct applications in the areas of math, science, engineering, and technology.
Provider's Events:
1. View Diving into Biology - "Live Virtual Dive" - Join scuba divers in a

fourth largest lake in the world.
2. View Diving into Geometry - Students measure, record, analyze and interpret geometric shapes and sizes in one, two and three dimensions, as they join scientific divers underwater.
3. View Diving into History - "Great Lake Shipwrecks - Explore Great Lakes ‘ maritime history by visiting three shipwrecks. Narration is provided by scientific divers who investigate the ships and their history and see how the development of shipping on the Great Lakes affected the development of the United States.

9. View Diving into Toys Underwater - Students join scuba divers and direct their actions through a series of experiments with many of the students’ favorite toys. By
making predictions about how their
toys will behave on land and
underwater, students discover the
scientific method.
10. View Diving into Wastewater - Students and educators take a virtual tour of the East Chicago Sanitary District
Wastewater Treatment Plant. This
plant is truly unique as freshwater
sponges and salmon thrive there as a
