If your teaching assignment includes natural resources this program is for you. Come visit the Appalachian Plateau in far southwest Virginia for a first hand look at local geology, coal mining, gas production, reclamation, coal and gas utilization, and some local history. This program augments and supports 3rd, 4th, 5th, 6th grade, and Earth Science Standards of Learning relating to non-renewable resources – rock, coal, and natural gas. There is also ample opportunity to discuss issues relating to two of Virginia’s natural resources – forests and water.
