Curriculum Materials

An active marble cave and underground stream reveal the inside of one of the world's most complex geological realms. This richness provides educational opportunities which can be found in the following curriculum-based education programs:

Teacher's Companion Guide to Oregon Caves' Videos, grades 3-8

Geology: Our Changing Earth, grades 3-5

Watersheds: Through the Mountain and to the Valley, grades 6-8

If you have a class grade outside of the curriculum based programs offered at Oregon Caves, our partner, Siskiyou Field Institute in Selma Oregon, may be able to serve your class.

Did You Know?

This snail was named after an employee of Oregon Cave, not because he was slow but because he wrote the technical description of the snail.

There is a snail that lives on the marble rock outcrops of Oregon Caves that has adapted to use the calcium from the rock to make its shell.
