Why study caves?
Caves can be an engaging topic for intermediate students.
The idea of going deep into a cave to explore the mysterious depths, hidden treasures, and unique ecosystems can be a captivating topic for children.
Caves can inspire young writers to embark on an exciting adventure. They can also inspire writers to work on their research skills by learning about this ecosystem as they write.
