American Geosciences Institute: Earth Science Week: Cookie Mining

Curated by ACT

In this mining simulation, students 'purchase' chocolate chip cookies which represent their 'mining property.' They must also buy mining equipment (i.e., toothpicks and paper clips). They 'mine' chocolate chips from their cookies while following a set of rules. They then have to calculate their profits and reclamation costs for their mining operation.
