Possible Extensions

Because asbestos was so widespread, its impact on society is still felt today.  Extensions will therefore try to utilize the real connections the mineral has with students lives.

 

  • Try having students talk to their family after the class about their own experiences with asbestos

  • Have students research a well known local building that was built with asbestos

  • Research the closest former asbestos mine; where is it, what is the geology like?
