Thank you Mr. Enterline for teaching us about sharks and scuba diving

Look at all the questions we had!

We in room C-2 had another guest speaker for science.

Last Friday, Greg Enterline came to our class to talk marine biology and scuba diving.  It is always fun to learn from the experts and this was surely the case when Mr. Enterline came to visit.

Students learned about scuba diving by watching some videos of a dive to see the shipwreck the Duane.  What was really exciting about the dive was that there was a Great White Shark in the video. What a shocker it was to see if from the vantage point of a diver!  Students had many questions about sharks after that and three lucky students won real shark teeth at the end of the class by showing what they had learned.

Students also got to see some of Mr. Enterline's scuba gear, including oxygen tanks, the wires divers hang on to when they are diving, flippers and a mask.  I don't know if seeing the video with the shark made them more or less interesting in diving themselves!

Mr. Enterline also brought some remote operated vehicles for the class to see.  Mr. Binder at the middle school has a club where students can make their own ROVs.  After Mr. Enterline left, students had questions about how they could be sure to join the club.  It's talks like these that help make science come to life.

Thank you Greg Enterline!
