Once upon a time, in the Arctic, there was a submersible that was exploring the deep sea. The submersible was equipped with oxygen tanks, and the crew was studying new species of bacteria. Suddenly, the submersible got too close to an underwater volcano and started to overheat! The crew had to act fast to avoid a meltdown. They quickly realized that the heat from the volcano was actually helping the bacteria grow and evolve into new species. So, instead of leaving, they decided to stay and study the amazing new creatures. And that's how the crew discovered a whole new world of marine life, thanks to a little bit of heat from a volcano!

Reflections

1. What was the submersible crew studying in the Arctic?
2. How did the bacteria evolve into new species?
3. What did the submersible crew do when they got too close to the volcano?
4. Why did the crew decide to stay and study the bacteria instead of leaving?
5. Can you think of other ways heat can affect marine life?
