This A1 poster aims to introduce Year 3/4 and older students to the many ways that minerals and elements are used in our everyday lives.  6 key uses of 14 critical and strategic minerals are highlighted by colourful lines linking images. Students should take their time viewing the poster; they can follow the wiggly lines from minerals to product or vice versa and work out how many minerals link to each type of use.  The poster is also suitable for secondary students with the inclusion of a specific element name with each highlighted mineral plus the element symbol and atomic number.  The poster is intended to be a colourful rich stimulus to engage student interest in the resources from the ground used in our modern world.
