Some resources from federal government sites are currently unavailable; when possible, we’ve provided alternative non-government links to ensure continued data access.
The resource provides three ways for students to explore data (line graph, map, and table).
Related research and data sources are linked in the Sources section.
Additional Prerequisites
Educators should take time to get familiar with this interactive resource.
Differentiation
World history teachers could ask students to use their knowledge of history to predict which countries or regions of the world produced the most CO2 emissions from cement in 1750, 1850, 1950, and 2021. After students have made their predictions have them use the map to check their answers. In small groups, students can discuss what surprised them about the data and what did not surprise them about the data.
After examining the data in this resource, science classes could watch this video on carbon emissions and cement and discuss whether or not the countries currently producing the highest carbon emissions from cement production could lower the emissions by changing the way they manufacture cement.
