takes your STEM curriculum to new depths!\u00a0 WhaleTimes&#8217; Creep into the Deep\u00a0 creates a connection between scientists and students. It also lets you bring deep-sea animals, exploration, and science into your classrooms in a unique and inviting way. What&#8217;s in the deep that a kid would like? Animals dressed in red velvet, some as transparent as glass, and others that flash and ripple with light so bright they could light a room. Every animal and discovery in the deep is weirder and more wonderful than the next. Only 5% of the ocean has been explored. In order to protect the ocean, there is so much more we must learn. Join us on a mission to investigate how the cool creatures that creep in the deep survive!<\/span><\/p>\n<p align=\"LEFT\">Designed for 3-6th grade classrooms. By participating in the program, students become Virtual Members of a deep sea mission, receive daily emails from scientists, photos, and answers to their questions.\u00a0 Students even send their autographs into the abyss!<\/p>\n<p align=\"LEFT\"><a href=\"http:\/\/whaletimes.org\/wp-content\/uploads\/2015\/04\/UMMNH_logo_rgb.png\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"alignnone wp-image-614 \" src=\"http:\/\/whaletimes.org\/wp-content\/uploads\/2015\/04\/UMMNH_logo_rgb-300x50.png\" alt=\"UMMNH_logo_rgb\" width=\"342\" height=\"57\" srcset=\"https:\/\/whaletimes.org\/wp-content\/uploads\/2015\/04\/UMMNH_logo_rgb-300x50.png 300w, https:\/\/whaletimes.org\/wp-content\/uploads\/2015\/04\/UMMNH_logo_rgb-1024x171.png 1024w, https:\/\/whaletimes.org\/wp-content\/uploads\/2015\/04\/UMMNH_logo_rgb.png 1197w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 342px) 100vw, 342px\" \/><\/a>\u00a0<a href=\"http:\/\/whaletimes.org\/wp-content\/uploads\/2015\/04\/CUMuseumLogo.jpg\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"alignnone wp-image-612 size-medium\" src=\"http:\/\/whaletimes.org\/wp-content\/uploads\/2015\/04\/CUMuseumLogo-300x49.jpg\" alt=\"CUMuseumLogo\" width=\"300\" height=\"49\" srcset=\"https:\/\/whaletimes.org\/wp-content\/uploads\/2015\/04\/CUMuseumLogo-300x49.jpg 300w, https:\/\/whaletimes.org\/wp-content\/uploads\/2015\/04\/CUMuseumLogo-1024x169.jpg 1024w, https:\/\/whaletimes.org\/wp-content\/uploads\/2015\/04\/CUMuseumLogo.jpg 1500w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 300px) 100vw, 300px\" \/><\/a><\/p>\n<p align=\"LEFT\"><a href=\"http:\/\/whaletimes.org\/wp-content\/uploads\/2015\/04\/Tallahassee-Museum-Logo-with-T2T.jpg\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"alignnone wp-image-613\" src=\"http:\/\/whaletimes.org\/wp-content\/uploads\/2015\/04\/Tallahassee-Museum-Logo-with-T2T-300x138.jpg\" alt=\"Tallahassee Museum-Logo-with-T2T\" width=\"256\" height=\"118\" srcset=\"https:\/\/whaletimes.org\/wp-content\/uploads\/2015\/04\/Tallahassee-Museum-Logo-with-T2T-300x138.jpg 300w, https:\/\/whaletimes.org\/wp-content\/uploads\/2015\/04\/Tallahassee-Museum-Logo-with-T2T.jpg 924w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 256px) 100vw, 256px\" \/><\/a>\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0 \u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0 <a href=\"http:\/\/whaletimes.org\/wp-content\/uploads\/2015\/04\/Frost-Museum-of-Science-Logo-PPFMOS-copy.jpg\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"alignnone wp-image-678 \" src=\"http:\/\/whaletimes.org\/wp-content\/uploads\/2015\/04\/Frost-Museum-of-Science-Logo-PPFMOS-copy-300x75.jpg\" alt=\"Print\" width=\"240\" height=\"60\" srcset=\"https:\/\/whaletimes.org\/wp-content\/uploads\/2015\/04\/Frost-Museum-of-Science-Logo-PPFMOS-copy-300x75.jpg 300w, https:\/\/whaletimes.org\/wp-content\/uploads\/2015\/04\/Frost-Museum-of-Science-Logo-PPFMOS-copy.jpg 338w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 240px) 100vw, 240px\" \/><\/a>\u00a0 \u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0 <a href=\"http:\/\/whaletimes.org\/wp-content\/uploads\/2015\/04\/Bell-Museum-logo-bellWdmkD2D-202C.jpg\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"alignnone wp-image-762\" src=\"http:\/\/whaletimes.org\/wp-content\/uploads\/2015\/04\/Bell-Museum-logo-bellWdmkD2D-202C-300x156.jpg\" alt=\"Print\" width=\"198\" height=\"103\" srcset=\"https:\/\/whaletimes.org\/wp-content\/uploads\/2015\/04\/Bell-Museum-logo-bellWdmkD2D-202C-300x156.jpg 300w, https:\/\/whaletimes.org\/wp-content\/uploads\/2015\/04\/Bell-Museum-logo-bellWdmkD2D-202C-1024x533.jpg 1024w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 198px) 100vw, 198px\" \/><\/a><\/p>\n<p align=\"LEFT\">Special thanks to\u00a0<a href=\"http:\/\/Oregon Coast Aquarium's Oceanscape Network\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\"> <img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"alignnone wp-image-629\" src=\"http:\/\/whaletimes.org\/wp-content\/uploads\/2015\/04\/Oceanscape-Network-goth.horz_-300x81.jpg\" alt=\"Oceanscape Network goth.horz\" width=\"259\" height=\"70\" srcset=\"https:\/\/whaletimes.org\/wp-content\/uploads\/2015\/04\/Oceanscape-Network-goth.horz_-300x81.jpg 300w, https:\/\/whaletimes.org\/wp-content\/uploads\/2015\/04\/Oceanscape-Network-goth.horz_.jpg 350w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 259px) 100vw, 259px\" \/><\/a><\/p>\n<h6 align=\"LEFT\"><em>WhaleTimes&#8217;
