Speleology

We had a great time in December of 2008 exploring the Lost Sea Cave in Sweetwater and Ruby Falls in Chattanooga, TN. Below are activities and plans uploaded mainly to share with other teachers in hopes that they can enjoy the unit with their students, too. My students can blog on the "discussion" tab to offer advice and information they may want to share about their experience. :-) Ms.K

The [|Lost Sea Cave] website offers informaiton about the Wild Tour and contact information. The [|Ruby Falls]website has useful information as well. Contact them for a teacher guide and activities. The children love [|Rock City and Lookout Mountain]- be sure to plan for plenty of time here. Our favorite hotel is the [|Country Inn and Suites] in Chattanooga. I use a travel agent for all of our trips. Jan of Designer Travel is my absolute favorite - she's been my only agent for the past 9 years. You can contact her at 1-800-676-2121. She also does a great Washington DC package!

Below are two lists of activities students can choose from for their projects

This is an example of a student project about stalagmites and stalactites.

Below is information used for student folders. The list of supplies and prices is in the teacher packet that must be mailed. Please contact me if you are interested.

This is a sample letter I send to parents regarding fundraising and expenses.
