KET takes you and your students on a field trip to a coal mine, and you won’t even need a hard hat—in fact, you never have to leave your classroom. Through the magic of video technology, you will

go underground to a deep mine (students under 18 normally would not be allowed to do this);
visit a surface mine to see huge earth-moving equipment;
see reclamation projects;
learn how coal was formed;
watch as coal is transported by truck, barge, and train; and
hear questions answered by people involved in Kentucky’s mining industry.

This program was first broadcast on December 5, 1995.
