Exploring Mining In Queensland Past and Present provides students from years P-10 with opportunites to explore past, present and future mining activities in Queensland. Students are able to examine the mining industry across the Essential Learnings themes of time, continuity and change, place and space, culture and identity and political and economic systems.

Experiment with mining using a piece of fruitcake. This is an activity sheet providing instructions for a simulated mining experiment. Students use various tools to remove different fruits, representing different minerals, from a piece of fruit cake, which represents the mine site. They are then required to rehabilitate the 'mine site'. The sheet includes questions to test student understanding and a teacher guide.

The Science of Mining gives secondary science teachers ideas to promote student leaning in earth science and other science concepts in the context of mining activities in Queensland.The material is organised around outcomes focusing on a key question asked by students about rocks, minerals and mining.This resource will help you explore everything from plate tectonics, demonstrate different exploration and drilling techniques, role play environmental management scenarios and explore the chemistry behind a blast furnace or electrolysis.

In this interactive diagram, students learn how a power station works. Students build the coal fired energy plant by dragging images into the correct position and in the correct order, then select captions to match.

Find out how carbon emissions from power generation can be reduced. This is a PowerPoint presentation that deals with the contribution carbon capture and storage can make toward reducing greenhouse gas emissions. It explains the carbon cycle and the greenhouse effect. Techniques of carbon capture are described and their advantages and disadvantages outlined. Geosequestration is illustrated, and present as well as potential sites for carbon storage are identified. Most slides have images, flowcharts or maps and teachers notes are included.

This is a worksheet consisting of a blank data table designed for students to record information resulting from their research into renewable energy resources. It specifies the types of energy resources to be investigated and suggests topics for research focus.

This is a worksheet designed to help students research ways of reducing energy consumption and greenhouse gas emissions. It recommends a number of websites, and provides data tables and focus questions as well as tasks to direct the research.
