1. Teacher Guide This lesson is designed to teach kids to ask a critical thinking question that you can’t just put into a search box to solve. To do that, we encourage them with smaller questions that search can help them answer. Make sure that you read the notes for each slide: they not only give you teaching tips but also provide answers and hints so you can help the kids if they are having trouble.

3. Cave explorers have been dropping into Alabama’s Neversink Pit for years. Its limestone walls reach 162 feet to the bottom and are covered in lush ferns, including some rare and endangered species, lending the open-air pit a jungle- like atmosphere. Since 1995, Neversink Pit has been owned and maintained by the Southeastern Cave Conservancy, a nonprofit organization that works to protect caves in the southeastern United States.
