The Office of Surface Mining has developed an educational poster containing text and an illustration of mining and reclamation under the Surface Mining Law. Using the three principal methods of mining -- area, contour, and mountaintop removal mining, on-the-ground activities are described and illustrated.

A Teachers Resource Packet that is designed for use in Middle-school is also available. The packet contains ten copies of the Poster, Vocabulary Development (i.e., crossword puzzle and vocabulary quiz), Interpreting Visual Evidence work sheet, and an answer key. These instructional materials can be easily reproduced for student work. The poster and Teachers Resources Packet are available to the public at no cost. The Teachers Resource Packet is only available to teachers.
