Synopsis
  • This resource includes an interactive map and graphs that show the quantity of gas consumed (measured in terawatt-hours) in countries around the world since 1900. 
Teaching Tips

Positives

  • The interactive provides three different ways for students to explore data (chart, map, table). Students may choose to view datasets for various geographic locations and time periods.
  • Related research and data are linked.
  • The site explains how the data was collected.

Additional Prerequisites

  • Learners need to be familiar with different sources of energy.
  • Educator would need time to get familiar with this interactive media and decide on how to implement it with the learners.

Differentiation

  • There are other related interactive maps for other sources of energy.
  • Can be used to create awareness about one or more of the Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs).

Scientist Notes

Energy consumption from gas is more common in the USA, hence the high value in the chart. This resource will enable students to explore and get insights when comparing the USA with other countries. Datasets and method are accurate, and there is no contradiction. The resource is recommended for teaching.
