| Echoes: What Animals Can Teach Scientists |
| National Geographic |
| Use echolocation and sonar to investigate the deep-sea |
| "In this lesson, students learn how scientists like Robert Ballard use sonar to investigate the depths of the ocean. They will learn that some animals have an unusual way of figuring out what is around them in the dark. They will study the echolocation capabilities of bats and think about how ocean scientists can learn from these animals to develop deep-sea exploration techniques." |
