Today we brainstormed some questions about caves and cave creatures.
Here are some of our questions...
- How does a glow-worms light work?
- What do glow-worms look like up close?
- What do stalagmites do when they reach the top of the cave?
- How long has Waitomo Caves been around for?
- How many years does it take to make a column?
- How deep is the water in the caves?
- What are caves made out of?
- Why are stalagmites and stalactites made in caves? why aren't they made anywhere else?
- Do glow-worms sleep?
- What do glow-worms eat?
- How long does it take for a cave to change shape?
- How do caves change shape?
We are hoping to answer all these questions when we get back from our trip! :)

Hi room7.
ReplyDeleteI know what glow-worms eat. Do you want to know?Glow-worms eat little insects and this is how they cach them. First the glow-worms spin a sticky thread and their light attracts other insects and try to eat them up and sometimes if the glow-worm is really hungry and they haven't causght anything they eat each other.
When the glow-worm is first born their first meal is the other eggs that haven't hatched so they are eating their brothers and sisters.

ReplyDeleteGlows worms eat each other when they are really hungry. Glowworms sleep in the dark and they go and find food to eat. They spin sticky threads and flies get stuck. The glowworms eat them.

ReplyDeleteI know how caves change shape because of the columns,stalacmites and stalectites.
They also change shape because of the water.

ReplyDeleteCaves change shape by the plates that sometimes cause an earthqake and over time there are some earthquakes. So over time caves do change shape by the plates.
