Positives

The provider updates this data regularly.
Students can also easily hide irrelevant data to focus on the data they need.

Prerequisites

Students should know how to interpret data and read maps and graphs.
Some students may need some background information about natural gas and help to understand the difference between natural gas and gasoline.

Differentiation & Implementation

Science classes can use this data after learning about the harmful impacts of natural gas use and extraction. The media literacy activity Natural Gas: Water & Climate Impacts can help facilitate this topic.
Social studies classes can discuss the environmental justice aspects associated with natural gas extraction. Students can watch the Youth Climate Story: Fracking in Pennsylvania for a case study of this.
In math classes, students can download the table to practice manipulating the data in Excel or Google Sheets.
