As we rely on more technology, we have to mine the earth for useful elements found in rocks and minerals. Mining companies have to carefully balance how much profit they make, with how much they\u2019ll impact the surrounding environment – it\u2019s no easy task! <\/p>\n\n\n\n

Take on the challenge and set up your own Cookie Mine – using the worksheet, paperclips, toothpicks and some chocolate chip cookies. Carefully balance your budget on the tools and site of your mine, with the cost of restoring the land to its natural state once you\u2019ve finished. Work in a team or battle it out to see who can make the tastiest profit.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
