Education package about the Donald Chemical Plant

Abstract

The intent of this project was to create an education package about the Donald Chemical Plant, a charcoal plant active in Haliburton County in the early 1900s and unused since the 1940s. The paper explores bioregional education in the context of Haliburton as a backdrop to the development of the educational unit itself. The creation of the package is outlined along with curriculum activities for use in two grade 8 classes at Archie Stouffer Elementary School. Evaluations both from a student and teacher perspective are included as well as suggestions for future education initiatives.
