Synopsis
- This resource includes an interactive map, table, and graphs that show the quantity of gas produced (measured in terawatt-hours) in countries around the world since 1900.
- Students can sort, download, and isolate the data.
Teaching Materials
Positives
- Color coding and easy data isolation can help students see relevant data at a glance.
- Students can download the data to work with it without an internet connection.
Prerequisites
- Students should understand what gas is and the difference between natural gas and gasoline.
- It may also benefit students to understand that gas is a fossil fuel and what that means for the environment.
Differentiation & Implementation
- Students can compare this data with the Per Capita CO₂ Emissions data to see if there is a correlation.
- After looking at the data in this resource, students can research alternative fuels.
- Science students can look at this data after learning about the environmental and health impacts of fossil fuels.
- Math students can use this data as a tool to practice analysis and storytelling with data.
The resource presents world's energy production from gas with the USA having the highest value. Energy data from different units were normalized. This method is suitable, and the resource is recommended.
