Catch the Carbon

People use science understanding and skills in their occupations ad these have influenced the development of practices in areas of human activity (ACSHE136)

Communicate ideas, findings and evidence based solutions to problems using scientific language, and representations, using digital technologies as appropriate (ACSIS148)

Students will:

• learn about climate change and greenhouse gases
• understand the basics of enhanced greenhouse effect and key gases involved
• learn about CSIRO's Carbon and Methane capture technology
• learn about Carbon capture technology; biocells; storage and other technologies form other research groups
• learn about different ways Carbon can be captured

At the end of the 2 week lesson sequence students will:

•  understand what climate change is and the greenhouse gases involved
• recall the basics of the greenhouse effect and key gases involved
• appreciate the research by CSIRO and other research groups into Carbon and Methane capture and storage
• recall different ways Carbon can be captured
• communicate how Carbon capture will reverse climate change through an extended writing piece

Workbook, task sheet research and extended writing piece (collaborative or individual)

Informal, formative assessment is built into the lessons.

Embedded video's and Web links.
