Resource Rush at Kiruna Mine

Natural Resources Adventure Pack

Deep beneath the surface of northern Sweden, extraction systems are out of balance.

Supply records are incomplete. Renewable and nonrenewable categories are mixed up. Conservation plans are missing key data. Ari Raider has detected a disruption in the global resource network, and if the classification and sustainability system is not restored, explorers could lose track of how Earth’s materials support life and industry.

In Resource Rush at Kiruna Mine, students deploy the Resource Hauler and enter a high-stakes Earth science mission. By exploring how minerals are mined, how water and forests serve as renewable resources, and how fossil fuels differ from materials that can be replaced, explorers must rebuild the resource map and restore balance between use and conservation.

This adventure blends environmental science, economics, and sustainability with story-driven exploration.

What This Adventure Covers

Each Resource Rush at Kiruna Mine Adventure Pack explores core natural resource concepts, including:

• Natural Resource – A material found in nature that people use
• Renewable – A resource that can be replaced naturally over time
• Nonrenewable – A resource that cannot be replaced quickly once used
• Minerals – Naturally occurring solid materials found in Earth
• Water – A vital natural resource needed for life
• Forests – Areas filled with trees that provide wood, habitat, and oxygen
• Fossil Fuels – Energy resources formed from ancient plants and animals
• Conservation – The careful use and protection of natural resources
• Sustainability – Using resources in a way that does not harm future generations

Each topic appears naturally within the adventure and is required to move the story forward, reinforcing understanding through comparison and real-world application rather than memorization.
