GOLD! GOLD! GOLD!

Transcript: To show our other 4th Grade Classes what we know, at the end of this unit, we will transform our classroom into gold country! I will send a letter home with each student with a list of supplies. We will need authentic miner foods, and parent volunteers to help set up and clean up. Also, cardboard. Lots, and lots of cardboard will be needed to build our structures from long Toms, to Wagons, to Fake Storefronts. We will recreate a general store, a jail with a sheriff, and other city officials, miners, claim jumpers, and a newspaper. Students will use computers to research their rolls, and create a short multimedia presentation on their particular roll. Then, we will begin constructing the presentation. Once set up, we will invite the other classrooms in to walk through our simulation, which is kind of like a play. From Tinsel Strength to Mass Long ago, legend tells us the great Greek physicist and mathematician Archimedes (287?-212 B.C.) once performed a great service for King Hiero of Syracuse. Students will read the original story of Archimedes and his bath tub, then compare the volumes of different materials with identical weights in water. Students will complete station research and activities about the history of the Gold Rush. Stations will include: Pre-Rush California; How the Rush Starts: Major People of the Rush; How did immigration to California impact it's cities?; How did the Promise of wealth impact non-Americans?; California Becomes a State; The Rush ends; Lasting Impact of the Rush. Students will record this details in their notebooks for later use on their compare and contrast essay. By the end of this lesson, which may span a few days, students should be able to demonstrate their knowledge with a multimedia presentation on the major events surrounding the Gold Rush, and how it contributed to the admission of California to the US. Articles for Comparison include photos of San Francisco, Chinese Miners, the Constitution of the State of California, expository texts on the historical role of the Chinese in the Gold Rush. Timelines of how the Rush develops, and computer stations with websites focusing on the Gold Rush.

In this activity, students will be practice and apply their knowledge of multiplication and division to determine the how much gold is needed to buy basic goods such as Pick Axes, bread, lard, lodging, and other supplies. Converting Gold to Dollars Every week will begin with 5 vocabulary words. Students will use Fayer models in their Miner's notebooks to learn new vocabulary words. Then, students will break into their heterogeneous reading groups where they will write one paragraph of a story using a student developed word list. They will then pass their paper to another group, who will use their own list. When each group has had a chance to write their paragraph on each page, a volunteer from each group will read their version of the story.

Transcript: When the goldrush began, many people left there jobs to hopefully find fortune on the goldfields. Nearly all of the shops closed down because no one was left to work at them (apart from the women and kids). Nor anyone to shop at them. Schools had closed down because there is no one to teach the children. The sale of alcohol was banned from the goldfields due to bad behavior it caused. Although some people had other plans. Sly grog shanties were built to sneak alcohol because to get beer or other drinks on the goldfields was more expensive than importing it from other country's, some of the drinks that they had on the goldfields were, spirits, whisky and gin. The miners diet consisted of mutton,damper and tea. The mutton was sold by butcher, who has a tent set up at the camp. The tent was always easy to find because flies were attracted to all the mutton. Fresh food such as fruit and vegetables were rare because before the food could be taken to the goldfields it got spoiled or rotten. Clean water was also very hard to find. The Government created a money system by forcing the diggers to own a gold license or miners right. Each month every miner had to pay 1 pound 10 shillings simply for the right to dig. Miners were not aloud to claim or say they own that part of land while they work otherwise they would get a large consequence. In the 1800's there were 7,000 chinese people on the goldfields. That was at least Half of the people that were at the goldfields! Australia first became multi-cultural during the gold rush period. the draw towards however took a personal toll on individuals. Particularity on the people that didn't speak English, which was NOT right. The Chinese were always working hard, with techniques that were wildly different from the Europeans. The Chinese had found out that Australia had found some tracings of gold and of they went to come look for gold for themselves. The Chinese workers have to follow the same rules as the Australian miners do so it is quite fair. Some of the miners caused trouble in the goldfields. In the first few years of mining ladies and children were rare on the goldfields, so while the family stayed home the men of the family only got to go digging for gold. Most of the men also thought that they didn't want there wives to risk going out to the harsh life at the goldfields. Only the children over 9-12 were allowed on the goldfields. Most of the children got to help out with the 'fun' of gold mining. They used small pans or dishes and went to small creek beds and they know that they have to get all the big rocks out to wash them and shake to let the heavy gold stay at the bottom. women you have to stay at home because its a high risk going out to the goldfields, just stick with what your good at, cooking,cleaning and caring! New to the Goldfields? How do you know which mining type suits you the best? Let our article tell you all about the different types of mining techniques you could be a part of! Panning * Panning is a simple technique used for finding alluvial gold (nuggets or flecks). Found in shallow creek beds. Cradle * This a large wooden cradle to find little gold particles through all of the dirt, sand and gravel. You put I big buckets of dirt and shake it to reveal the gold. Puddling * This used to separate gold from clay. The gold mixture is placed into a large container and then water is poured in. The mixture is stirred with a wooden stick and the water dissolves so you can grab your gold out of the container. Shaft Mining * When gold became popular under the surface of the ground miners turned to digging deep holes into to the ground or shafts to be specific. Good luck finding gold however you decide to look for it! Written by Abigail Hogg Life on the Goldfields Women on the Goldfield 2pence Tuesday, February 17, 1854 Thank you for reading this months issue of ''gold gold gold'' Make sure you have your license! Tools make all the difference... Want gold? We can show you how... The Chinese didn't want to work with the Australian miners because they had different opinions on things Looking for gold different people have types of techniques of the what tools miners should use, some are, cradles, panning, puddling, shaft mining and a miners pick. For these items to find any gold you have to use them correctly. Here are some of the things that you will need to require for these tools, for a pan you will need either dirt for dry panning or some sort of water for wet panning. For shaft mining you will need rope, the pulling machine, (or a couple very strong men), safety protection and tools, such as a bucket, shovels and/or pales. For puddling you will need a wooden crate or box, a wooden stick and this could also be mixed using the machine for puddling run by a horse going around in circles. For Cradles you will need the wooden/metal cradle and your hands, (to shake the dirt and water out to leave nice fresh gold). For a miners pick you wont need specific items

Transcript: How long can you keep it What is it!? Gold!Gold!Gold!Gold! Bright and yellow, hard and cold! Its GOlD! Did you know How much is it worth! Buy GOLD! Its what!? Gold is one of the elements that NEVER rusts. So your great great great grandchildren will be able to enjoy this ancient metal Gold is a metal of wealth and beauty. Its VERY EXPENSIVE to have but Its worth it because not everyone will live to see or touch a golden nugget. Many people don't know that gold is edible. Native American tribes were the first people that started eating gold because they thought if you ate gold it would make you levitate. It depends on how much it weighs, the largest gold nuggest was found in Australia. It weighed 3,123 ounces and was worth 3,766,950 US dollars.

Transcript: GOLD, GOLD, GOLD By Sienna.Napolitano Whats the different between a alluvial mine and a mine shaft? whats the difference between a mine shaft and a alluvial mine? Alluvial Mine is a mine where you collect rocks and chip gold out of them Alluvial Mine is a mine where you collect rocks and chip gold out of them A mine shaft is held under ground you need pick, shovel bucket and windlass. A mine shaft is held under ground you need pick, shovel bucket and windlass. The difference between an Alluvial Mine and a Mine Shaft is that a Mine Shaft is under ground and a Alluvial Mine is above ground. A Alluvial Mine is gold coming out of rocks The difference between an Alluvial Mine and a Mine Shaft is that a Mine Shaft is under ground and a Alluvial Mine is above ground. A Alluvial Mine is gold coming out of rocks. My permit my person digging What problem did my person encounter ? The problems my character came across was mutton going off and not having enough food. The problems my character came across was mutton going off and not having enough food. people came from North America, Europe, and China which countries did people come to Australia to mine for gold ? mining changed the land scape because mines were built and developed across the country. how mining changed Australia's land scape in the 1850's cradles and pans were brought to Australia by miners. which inventions were brought to Australia in 1850 miners rose up to what they thought was unfair. explaining the eureka uprising that occurred in 1854 In the 1880 a large mining companies took over the mines. used hard labor and machines to find deep, buried gold. In what year did mining companies take over most of the gold fields. They used hard labor and machines to find deep, buried gold. They used hard labor and machines to find deep, buried gold. The mine I chose was the alluvial mine. What mine mine did i choose? The tools I needed were: shovel, pick, pan, or cradle The tools I needed were: shovel, pick, pan, or cradle The pan and cradle are used to separate the gold from the rocks and dirt. The pan and cradle are used to separate the gold from the rocks and dirt. The shovel is to get the dirt and put it in the cradle or pan. The pick is used for chipping the rocks to make them smaller.

Transcript: What is weathering? We now know that weathering breaks down rocks. But what then happens to weathered rocks? Share 2 things you've learned about weathering with your reading partner. California Science Macmillan/McGraw-Hill Grade 4 p. 194-205 How do weathering and erosion work together? Physical weathering Once the gold particles begin to move, this is called erosion. Eventually, the gold was deposited along the sides of streams and rivers. Physical weathering happens when wind and rain break rocks down. This causes rocks to change size and shape. The transport of weathered rock is called erosion. Weathering and erosion work together to change and shape the land. Freeze-thaw weathering causes the jagged ridges of the snow-covered Sierra Nevada. Example of Chemical Weathering Gold Gold Gold! How did the weathering of rock and erosion lead to the discovery of gold? Acids: Most of the water in rivers and in soil contains acids. Decaying plants put acids in soil. Water soaking into the soil dissolves these acids. When dissolved acid comes into contact with rock, the acid reacts with the rock's minerals. The rock changes chemically. After a long time, the rock changes shape and breaks down. The dropping off of weathered rock is called deposition. Rivers and streams deposit sediments along their banks, or sides. Have you ever watched a river flow? You may have seen sediments and small rocks being carried along in the flowing water. These sediments and small rocks are weathered rock. Weathering, Erosion, and the Gold Rush Example of Physical Weathering Freezing and Thawing: Water from rain or melted snow enters small cracks in rocks. If the water freezes, it expands, or takes up more space. This causes cracks to widen. Later the water may thaw, or melt. Over time, repeated freezing and thawing breaks rocks apart. Dropping Off Sediments Chemical weathering Flowing water is the biggest cause of erosion. Rainwater carries sediments into streams and rivers. The moving water then flows downhill and carries the sediments along. Eventually, the sediments are dropped off in a new place. Flowing Water Erosion What causes erosion? Oxygen, acids, and carbon dioxide can react with the minerals in rock and cause chemical weathering. Rocks are constantly changing. Freezing and thawing, plants, wind, and pressure can cause rocks to break into smaller pieces. The breaking down of rocks is called weathering.

GOLD!GOLD!GOLD!

Transcript: Miners used a gold pan to sift through water and dirt and hopefully find some gold!!! People used to mine gold a lot differently than they do today! TODAY WE ARE GOING TO GO ON A MAGICAL ADVENTURE!!! SO, You decide to ask some one. "OH, we usually construct diversions in an active river so that it is easier when we decide to dig. WE CALL THEM WING DAMS!!! You know instead of digging through the hard ground we dig through mud!!!" You are probably wondering where we all are right now. Well let me give you a hint. WE are all miners!!! MAY I BE THE FIRST TO SAY WELCOME TO THE 1200s!!! LET ME START OFF BY SAYING "BLECH, This place looks disgusting!!! I have great news for you!!! People no longer use gold pans! Or Pick axe's. Yep, you guessed it we are back in the 21st century!!! People now use items like Cranes, Drywashers, Highbankers, Metal Detectors, and many more tools!!! NOW... AS YOU CAN SEE THE PEOPLE LIVING IN THE 1200s DIDN'T HAVE THE BEST TOOLS BUT THEY STILL HAD ONE THING THAT PEOPLE STILL HAVE TODAY. A LOVE FOR GOLD ALTHOUGH, miners back then did not exactly have the tools we had, they still had some smart shortcuts!!! Now a days gold is mostly used to make jewelry. It is also used to make Onamates. In some parts of the world gold is used for trading!!! MORE TOOLS... Now i need everyone to close their eyes!!! WOSH! WOSH! POW! KABAM! Gold in the 1200s trading for salt and other stuff that they couldn't find in their own land You start to walk in and all of the sudden your feet are wet and discusting! YOU HAVE RUINED YOUR NEW SHOES! OMG, GIRL!!! You are probably wondering why the floor is all muddy. He then picks up your pan and leads you to the river. He shows you how to use it and after a whole entire day of work you have found only tiny little gold flakes! You tell him that its not your fault that these people don't have modern digging tools such as cranes!!! TIme to mine some gold! OK, So you are at the gold mines, GREAT, now what. "IT'S TIME TO MINE!!!" GOLD!GOLD!GOLD! You now try to start digging with it. Hassan bumps you and says "WHAT IN THE WORLD ARE YOU DOING?!?! DO YOU WAN'T TO GET US ALL FIRED!!! A person consumes 402 pounds of salt per year so it was important to have gold so that you can trade it for salt. THE 1200s MINES!!! WELCOME TO THE OLD GOLD MINES!!! Now it is time to go to the mines you are probably expecting to get in some car and we are just gonna drive over there. SORRY, But NO!!! In the 1200s they did not have those kinds of vehicles or even construction vehicles. Sonnia is walking towards You tell yourself to pretend you know what you are doing. "Good Job!" She says. You are so happy. "Except you have only one problem. You are holding your pick axe backwards." She explains how you hold on to the wooden part and us the metal to chip through the stone. This is another technique miners used to use. The next day you get a tool like this. This time you do not wan't to get made fun off!!! You you have seen one of these before in a cartoon! Finally all these years of nothing but TV have paid of. You start using it to pick at the stone walls inside of the mine. Someone has just handed you a tool that looks like this.
