William Whiskerson meets Emily and together they explore a cave in Yorkshire. Inside, they discover how underground streams and rivers shape the cave. They also explore different rock formations and learn how stalactites and stalagmites are made.
This clip is from the BBC series William Whiskerson. A Geography programme for Key Stage 1 following the adventures of William Whiskerson, a mouse explorer.

Teaching Geography?
After viewing the clip, show pupils a map of Ingleton in Yorkshire. Can they spot the White Scar Caves?
Taking their inspiration from the clip, pupils could use a variety of percussion instruments to create a cave soundscape, with watery drips, rushing underground streams and plenty of echoes.
As a follow up, ask pupils to help you suspend a wet strand of wool over a plate, with the ends of the strand in two jam jars filled with a mixture of water and baking soda. You'll need a saturated solution, so keep adding baking soda until no more will dissolve. Over a week or so, if left very still, crystals will form on the strand of wool to create tiny stalactites. Leave it longer and tiny stalagmites will grow up from the plate. This helps demonstrate how rock structures form in caves.
This clip will be relevant for teaching Geography at KS1 in England, Wales and Northern Ireland and at 1st Level in Scotland.
