This site uses activities about gold to teach science, centering on the following information: how the pursuit of gold shaped society; metaphors, myths, lores and legends about gold; the mineral properties of gold; the two types of origins of gold (lode deposits and placer deposits); mining and recovery of gold; and the technology of heap leaching. There is also a debate between different interest groups about a small gold-mining town for students to consider, mention of a few historic mining sites and ghost towns for field trips, a map of U.S. regions that have produced gold, and a poster to illustrate the gold mining process, such as exploration, extraction, milling, refining, transport, and the creation of mining boom towns.
