Hi, our names are Madison, Kyra
Have you ever been in a cave? Well, our 4th grade students went to Mammoth Cave for a field trip. It was a really long walk inside the cave. We walked over 2 miles! The whole cave is actually 400 miles long.
Inside the cave, we saw where people had carved their names on the rocks. You aren’t allowed to do this anymore. Mammoth cave is the longest cave ever. According to our tour guide, the cave is 250 million years old. The person who discovered the cave was Henry Branford. Stephen Bishop also explored the cave and was one of the greatest explorers ever.
The Mammoth Cave was made out of Limestone. Limestone is one of the most common types of rock in Kentucky. Mammoth Cave is also made out of Bedrock. Bedrock is a rock that is a solid rock under the looser materials of earth’s surface.
While we were in the cave, I (Madison) was thinking about the slave working in the cave that the tour guide described. I know it would be hard work! My partner Kyra was wondering who all discovered the many parts of the cave and who will be next to find more of the cave. We both thought about how hard all of the people who discovered the cave were working. Here are some pictures of the cave for you to enjoy!
Wow! This looks a very fun field trip! I wish we had caves where we live. I would love to see more pictures of your trip.
