Did you know that scientists and explorers have been living underwater for years now? An engineer named Grace Young spent two weeks living in an underwater habitat called the Aquarius – an air-filled living space not much bigger than a school bus. While she was inside, Grace adapted a high-speed camera for use underwater that’s fast enough to catch underwater critters in action. She has filmed all kinds of creatures with her camera, like the mantis shrimp, which hides and then snatches prey. She’s also filmed how a lizardfish moves along by coiling its DID body like a spring and shooting itself YOU KNOW? out of the sand.

Science class this month has been all about the things you can find under the sea. Not only are there shipwrecks and treasures down there, but also thousands of different species of marine life. Most of the planet Earth is made up of oceans, but we have barely explored any of it. Scientists and explorers discover new and exciting things about the ocean every day.

DID YOU KNOW? The bottom of the sea isn’t flat. Ifall the water disappeared we’d see an amazing landscape of deep valleys, canyons and mountains, along with huge plains! Fact provided by National Geographic Kids
