One of the major projects that World of Water students participate in is BUBL:
Bathysphere Underwater Biological Laboratory, at the Rochester Museum and Science Center.

BUBL     Bryan/Mr. Robson
Students are sent on a mission to the bottom of Lake Ontario, where they perform many tasks: analyzing the water
for chemical pollutants, fixing a broken part to the submarine, studying life forms of the lake, and predicting the weather.
Pictured above: Bryan Gazda consults with BUBL Commander Peter Robson.
 

Since Victor is part of the Great Lakes watershed, we are very interested in the health of Lake Ontario.
This will be a major focus of the 2003-2004 school year.
