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.…

This resource is an animated movie, which combines voice over, text and images to explain what is meant by magnetic imaging. It explains how magnetic imaging can assist in mineral exploration by measuring the local magnetic field characteristics of a surveyed region. It describes how an analysis of…

This resource is a 3-minute animated clip which combines images, diagrams, graphics and voice-over to explain what is meant by the mineral exploration method called seismic imaging or reflection seismology. It describes how scientists use technology to measure acoustic energy waves in the Earth to locate mineral, hydrocarbon…
