Fossils fuel

 

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

Definition of Fossil Fuels: A natural fuel is a gas and coal, formed in the past that remain living organism.

Scientific Terms for Students

• coal: a dark-brown to 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.   Oil 
3.   Natural gas

Mining Fossil Fuels

What Fossil Fuels are mined? Gas, Oil, and Coal 
How are they mined? 

1. Coal miners use a giant machine to dig the coal underground. 

2. Extracting crude oil normally starts with drilling wells into an underground reservoir.

3.  Natural gas is mined as the same as oil.

Where are they mined?

1.          United state
2.          Russia
3.          China
4.          Australia 
5.          India

     
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.  Toothpicks 
2.    Chocolate chips Cookie
3.   Reusable plate 

Steps:

1. Grab your plate
2. Grab toothpicks
3.  Put a chocolate chips cookie at the top of the plate
4.  Take out the chocolate on the cookies but try not to crack it. 
5.  Once you have done that you can eat it. 

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

Before Mining

After Mining

Findings: What did you find out as a result of your mining? Once I take out the chocolate on the cookie it was very different from the one with the chocolate on the top because it was very clean.

Conclusion: I have learned that fossil fuels are very dangerous such as mining. I also leaarned how coal, oil and natural gas are mined.
