The Copper Mine





For our field trip a few weeks ago we took the kids to the Bingham Copper Mine in South Jordan. We were studying rocks and minerals, so the kids really enjoyed seeing how we use these substances that are pulled out of the earth in real life. They also enjoyed the trucks that are as big as a house and looking down into the open pit mine which can fit 3 Sears' Towers stacked on top of each other. Very cool.
