Fossil fuels

Aim: To look at how fossil fuels are contributing to climate change and how we can prevent this.

Today we've been doing and reaching about the fossil fuels. Fossil fuels are natural gas and it's like crude oil too but it's like big and hard rock.

 

Definition of Fossil Fuels: a natural fuel such as coal or gas, formed in the geological past from the remains of living organisms.

Scientific Terms for Students coal: a dark-brown to a black solid substance formed naturally from the compaction and hardening of fossilized plants and used as a fuel primarily for electricity generation

• natural gas: a mixture of hydrocarbon gases that occurs naturally beneath the earth’s surface and is used as a fuel primarily for cooking and heating homes
• renewable resource: a resource that is never used up (e.g., solar energy)
• non-renewable resource: a resource that is not replaceable after its use (e.g., coal, gas)

Examples of Fossil Fuels:

1. Coal   
2.  Natural gas 
3.  Crude oil 

Activity: 

In groups of 3, you will learn about different fossil fuels and the way they are mined?
Each group will be given a fossil fuel. The recorder will read it to the group. The recorder will write down some of the important points.
Person 1: Recorder: to write down 5 points of interest from the text. 

1. 5 Points:
2. Positives and negatives of your type of mining.

Person 2: Reporter: to read back to the class their 5 points of interest.
Person 3: Collector: Gathers the required stationary from the teacher.

Mining Fossil Fuels

What Fossil Fuels are mined?
How are they mined?

1. Fossil fuels are mined by the coal and also they can be found in the coal mined too.
2. Fossil used to mine extract solid, as digging coal, by digging, scraping, or otherwise exposing buried resources. 
3. Fossil fuels are mined by digging a tunnel or shafts.
4. Fossil fuels can be found under the surface or above the surface.

Where are they mined?

1. United States
2. Russia
3. Iran
4. Canada
5. China
6. Saudi Arabia

Activity;

On the sheet provided you need to make two drawings of your cookie. 
1. looking down at it. 
2. side on -  of the imaginary habitat that will live on the top of the cookie. ( trees, buses, flax, sea, etc)

Material:

1.  Plate 
2.   Cookie
3.   Paper
4.  Pen
5. Toothpick 

Steps:

1. Get the cookie and the plate.
2. Get a paper and pen.
3. Write what type of ecosystem it is, What plants and animals live there, and how to do human use that space writes in the before mining and after mining.
4.  Take away the black chocolate from the cookie by using a toothpick.
5. Draw the cookie and the habitat in before mining and draw the after mining cookies and the habitat

Once you have drawn your cookies you must take 2 pictures and upload them to your blog.

Findings: What did you find out as a result of your mining? That the environment will be ended by the mined. 

Conclusion: The example of fossil make me more impormation about the fossil fuels. There are so many coal oil and more around the world.
