In social studies we continued examining some artifacts from the MuseoKit from the Glenbow. Today we talked about a specific natural resource that is very popular in Alberta...coal! Students got a chance to handle an authentic miners helmet, a pick axe, and look at a sample of coal. It was fascinating to hear all the questions and wonderings that were discussed as we examined these artifacts and talked about coal in our province.

Question of the Day
TRUE or FALSE: In Alberta, a hundred years ago, underground mines had to be well lit so miners could see where to dig the coal.
Why do you think this is true or false?
Have a great night!
