HOW TO SAVE MY CAVE

After my students learned about the deterioration of the Lascaux caves because of the carbon dioxide from the visitors' breath, I assigned them the following project to be done in PowerPoint.  They work in teams and pretend that they have discovered a cave full of prehistoric paintings right here in Cerro Gordo.  Knowing that the visitors' breath was the main cause of the deterioration of the Lascaux caves, they must come up with a way to preserve their cave's paintings for all posterity and yet maintain it as a money making venture.  The teams had to design a poster in PowerPoint.  It had to contain the name of their cave, an example of a picture inside it and most importantly their rules pertaining to visitors and touring of the caves.  Below is an example of what was created.  By the way, in keeping with the technological process, they emailed me their final projects instead of printing them.
