Field Trips
Here are some field trip suggestions, described
in previous PDAC Mining Matters News
newsletters.
Rockwood: Cliffs, Caves, and Potholes
Rockwood Conservation Area, home to stunning
limestone cliffs and a multitude of potholes,
boasts one of the most extensive cave systems in
Ontario.
Quarry Visits for School Groups
Visiting a quarry with a class while studying
rocks and minerals can be one of the highlights
of teaching the Earth sciences unit.
Rockin’ Mineral Shows
There’s nothing like a Rock and Mineral show to
inspire budding rock collectors or future
geologists.
ROM Renaissance
If you’re able to go to the Royal Ontario Museum
(ROM) in Toronto, it’s definitely worth the
visit. The revitalized ROM helps convey the
excitement of studying Earth science.
Rocks, Minerals, and Erosion
The Royal Botanical Gardens in Burlington has a
curriculum-related program for Grade 4 students
to explore rocks, minerals and erosion.
Sudbury’s Dynamic Earth
