In this lesson from Xpeditions, students will study the submarine and the challenges humans face when traveling underwater. Students will look at pictures of submarines on National Geographic’s “K-19 and Other Subs in Peril” web site and conclude by creating a classroom mural featuring a fleet of their own model submarines and marine life that might be encountered on a journey under the sea.
