UNDERSTANDING GOLD
From the Learning Federation:
This learning object is one in a series of five objects.
Work as an exploration geologist who is searching for a new gold deposit in Western Australia. Find out how gold deposits form and investigate the methods geologists use to discover them. Carry out a field survey. Use geological methods such as an aerial magnetic survey, a regolith map and surface soil sampling to pinpoint a deposit. Use your budget effectively.
VALUING GOLD
How impressed would you be if your special someone surprised you with a bit of bling made out of tin, or iron, or aluminium? We like shiny, pretty things - gold, silver, platinum at a pinch. So how come most other metals get dull or rusty?
LEARNING
The Geological TimeWalk booklet describes major geological, climatic and biological events that have occurred over time.
