What is a fun way to get my studnets more involved with my lesson about caves? we create a cave with play-doh, but is there any other way to make it more exciting? 

What grade do you teach? 

The Caves Live website has an abundance of materials you could check out.

and AGI's Earth Science Week site has a resource geared to 3-ESS2-2 called Caves Guide

Yes, depending on the grade, it’s always fun and memorable when students can act out scenarios, in this case being in a cave, let them know they are scientists or give them a responsibility or reasoning for being in the cave . Students can use their imagination with the teacher’s guidance and create a new world in a cave. This can involve:

·         Questions about caves

·         Have them Observe what they might find in caves

·         Create some fun facts about caves that will excite them
