The Australian Uranium Association provides key facts on the Australian uranium industry, major mines and production and export values.

This web site is designed to inform the general community about the current and potential uranium mining operations in South Australia. It also deals with issues related to the use and management of uranium in the context of safety and sustainable development.

The World Nuclear Association provides fact sheets on many nuclear related topics including World Uranium Mining, location of Australias Uranium Mines, Occupational Safety in Uranium Mining, and Radioactive Waste Management.

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.

This comprehensive Giants that Walk the Earth PowerPoint provides a study of the dragline; the largest piece of machinery in operation in Australia. All year levels will benefit from the introduction with the latter sections more suited to the senior years of Physics and Engineering Technology.

Designed for physics and engineering technology teachers, the unit Giants that walk the Earth is based around the physics of draglines. The physics that govern the operation of these massive machines provides an ideal context in which to investigate a life application specifically of the principles of electromagnetism.Images, diagrams, specifications and technical drawings are provided in a series of PowerPoints to explain how electric motors in draglines work, how the walking feet operate and how the processes of supplying power and moving various components such as the bucket and beam are achieved.

This is a teachers guide for a unit of work to cover aspects of the Engineering Mechanics section of the Queensland syllabus in Engineering Technology. The unit is constructed around a theme of mining and contains lesson plans, teaching ideas, assessment instruments and standards matrices.
