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.

Science Rocks is a middle school teaching resource which contains a multitude of hands-on and student relevant teaching ideas about rocks, minerals and the work of geoscientists. It contains a wealth of ready to use lessons and resource sheets for students from year 4-9.Some activities include exploring the rock cycle through song and kinaesthetic activities, examining and identifying rocks and crystals, writing a biography of a scientist and even investigating the seven different minerals present in a toothpaste tube.

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 PowerPoint gives an excellent oversight as to how maths is critical in mining careers. Information kindly provided by Thiess.

Identify how mines affect the environment and investigate ways of reducing the impact. This is a student worksheet comprising a diagram showing activities at a mine site and a table to be completed by the student. Students use the table to summarise environmental impacts of the mine and actions taken at the mine to reduce these impacts.

South Australian Chamber of Mines and Energy is acknowledged as the provider of this resource. This resource contains a diagram representing an underground uranium mine and an animation of mine equipment being used to drill holes. The diagram is a cross-sectional view of the mine showing drill holes and stope. Students can click the lever on a device to create an explosion in the mine causing blasted rock to fall into the mine's stope.
