Wow!! I visited a place which has been ten years ago during my student teaching. Going back today and seeing the progression of the mining was awesome. It's wonderful to see how they take a piece of land, remove the dirt in layers, mined the coal out, and then restore the area back to its original state. The workers equipment gives a new name to the concept of "big" they are humongous. I found it to be awesome that they are able to use almost all the products in some way. After our tour we did an activity on the way water takes up space. I think this would be an exciting, interesting, as well as educational field trip for students and teachers.
