Asha and Baz are learning about the ocean in school, and though Baz seems mysteriously more confident than usual, the pair know that a trip back in time is sure to help them solve the Great Ocean Zone Challenge.
Together, they journey to 1970, where oceanographer Sylvia Earle is working in the US Virgin Islands.
Syvia is set to lead an all-women team on a mission to study the ocean while living in an underwater habitat called Tektite II. Who better to teach Asha and Baz about the ocean zones and the creatures that live in them?
With her help, the two budding scientists might be able to solve their class challenge—and Asha might just uncover a few surprises about her best friend along the way.
As with all the Asha and Baz books – the kid characters face a science-based challenge in class. These “challenges” can be reproduced at home or in the classroom using simple materials – which makes this a great STEAM and Makerspace book and activity.
