Modern Mining & Technology Sudbury Virtual Geoscience Workshops

Mining Matters is offering virtual student workshops for Grade 4 classes in the City of Greater Sudbury in partnership with Modern Mining & Technology Sudbury (MMTS). Students will receive a hands-on equipment package ahead of time to be used during the workshop. Students will work to identify properties of Earth materials while engaging in lively discussions to better understand where and how these resources form. Workshops address curriculum expectations for the topic Rocks, Minerals and Erosion, and include local and regional perspectives by showcasing samples that are sourced in Canada.

Workshop Options:

Minerals
Students will review the difference between rocks and minerals, see some of the tests geologist use to help identify different minerals, use their observations to identify minerals and gain an understanding of why some minerals can be different colours.

Rocks
Students will gain an understanding of how each of the 3 rock groups are formed, discover some of the clues to look for to help determine which of the rock group a rock is from, and then use those clues to identify a rock.

Mining
Students will look at posters and maps to learn more about what is available in Canada and mined in your province or territory. They will also have an opportunity to learn more about the mining process and the mining cycle. Please note you will have to provide 1 Chips Ahoy! Rainbow Cookies for each student, some paper clips and toothpicks, and printed materials.
