ENERGY TRANSITION

3.1 The Earth is Warming Up

After this lesson you will know:

- What 'Climate Change' is. 

- What the effects of climate change are.

-How climate change is caused.

-What the consequences are.

What do you know about climate change?

What's so bad about all the ice melting?

What are the causes of climate change?

What are the consequences of climate change?

How can we stop climate change?

Work time

1) Finish Skills exercise 1-7

2) Check your Skills answers

3) Read 3.1

4) Make 3.1  exercise: 2, 3, 4, 6

ENERGY TRANSITION - lesson 2

3.1-3.2

Which greenhouse gasses do you know? Can you name three?

Green house gasses to know:

The primary greenhouse gases in Earth's atmosphere are water vapor (H2O), carbon dioxide (CO2), methane (CH4), nitrous oxide (N2O), and fluorised gasses (CFK, HFK, PFK). 

greenhouse effect

enhanced greenhouse effect

too much co2

global rise of 2 degrees 

climate change

whithout this it would be -18 on earth

sea level rise

natural warming effect

Sun as the engine

human as engine

Climate Change can be seen in:

1. the tree line that moves uphill
2. glaciers growing
3. ocean temperature rising
4. humidity increasing

What is not a consequence of global warming:

1. permafrost is thawing
2. extreme weather
3. navigability of rivers is increasing
4. agricultural yields is falling

Facts of Climate Change	Consequences of climate change
Ice glaciers and sea level .	is melting.
gases heat up the earth.	extreme
The chances of a is fortunately not high.	heavy showers with in rivers.
will continue if we don't reduce our emitions.	yields are failing.

3.2 Transistion to Sustainable Sources

After the two lessons about 3.2 you will know:

- About the traditional energy sources and the carbon footprint it has caused.

- What unsustainable and sustainable sources are and why transition is necessary.

- How to interpret and use a cross-section applied to fossil fuels.

What does this photo depict?

Which traditional sources can you think of?

Traditional Energy Sources

Terms to discuss:

• fossil fuels
• non-renewable sources
• conventional oil and gas
• shale gas
• fracking
• tar sand
• nuclear energy

Should have been completed
of 3.1: 2, 3, 4, 6

Now read: TB p.51-52

Do 3.2: SB p.62-63, ex. 1, 3, 4, 5

Class activity

Read a section and explain to your buddy.

• Tips/Musts:
• Don't use your book for explanation.
• Draw to explain.
• Gesture to explain.
• Explain all the terms.
• Think of solutions.

From traditional to sustainable energy sources

• energy consumption per capita
• carbon emission per capita
• energy transition
• renewable energy sources

Assignment coming up:

Create an infographic about ways to improve our school to function more sustainable.
