Presented by the University of Arizona School of Mining and Mineral Resources, this lesson focuses on the twin imperatives of a mining engineer: remove copper from the earth while spending less money, leaving the smallest impact on the environment. Teachers will review mathematical formulas and principles for describing area, volume, mass, and density, to apply these concepts in a competition to design a mine that maximizes profits for its investors while minimizing the impact on the environment. This lesson requires at least a 6th-grade proficiency in math but is adaptable to calculus. (ADE Sponsored)
