A science teacher at the MAST Academy<\/a> (in Key Biscayne) is going to be a Teacher Under the Sea for eight days. He’ll be helping with scientific research at the Aquarius<\/a>, which is world’s only undersea research facility. It’s 60 feet under the waves in the Florida Keys National Marine Sanctuary. Here’s the scoop<\/a> on what Mark Tohulka is going to be busy doing.<\/p>\n

While aboard the research station, Tohulka will be responsible for collecting data along with three other scientists as well as managing the outreach aspect of the program.<\/p>\n

He will be the first school teacher to participate in an Aquarius saturation mission.<\/p>\n

…<\/p>\n

As one of the scientists on the crew, Tohulka will spend some time in the water collecting data and doing outreach through media broadcasts, blogs and Web communication.<\/p>\n

The three live video broadcasts that will take place on Aquarius will be made available to networks.<\/p>\n

Footage will also be stored in Aquarius archives for other teachers to incorporate into their lesson plans.<\/p><\/blockquote>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
