Training
Established in 1997,
Prospectors and Developers Association
of Canada Mining Matters has reached
more than 400,000 teachers and students
through educational resources that
promote the importance of rocks, metals,
minerals, mining and Canada's geology.
Mining Matters has developed bilingual
units for Grade 4 and Grade 7 to meet
100% of the Ontario Science and
Technology Curriculum expectations for
the topics "Rocks, Minerals and Erosion"
and "The Earth's Crust".
The organization's newest unit,
"Discovering Diamonds", is a
one-of-a-kind resource designed to bring
the rich knowledge of Canadian diamonds
into high school classrooms across
Canada. The goal of this resource is to
use diamonds as an integrating theme
through which to study the concepts
expected in a senior level Earth Science
course. Teachers obtain the materials by
participating in a workshop that
demonstrates how to best implement the
unit in their classroom.
