Oil Fuel or Foe?

        Greetings, my name is, K.W and I am in the Energy class at GCE. In this class we have been covering many topics ranging from math, chemistry, and physics. Specifically speaking we have been talking about fossil fuels, greenhouse gasses, slope, graphs, molecules, and chemical equations & reactions. In our class we have also done experiments with chemical reactions to further our understanding, although not all the experiments went perfectly that is still a lesson in itself. In addition to this, my class was also assigned an action project.

        For this action project we were assigned the task of creating a slide show for one of the fossil fuels. I chose oil for my fossil fuel, and in this slide show, we need to state facts about our fossil fuel, list statistics, calculate slope for consumption, predict future consumption, and list pros and cons. For example, this is one of the slides on my slideshow. There is a lot of information in this single slide, although it is pretty straight forward. I have information about recent oil consumption statistics, an article about oil, and reasons why we should care.

        In conclusion, this action project was generally easy, and helped me to understand how math can come into play in the real world. I have also gained knowledge on how many things can affect the planet and how it is very crucial to our ecosystem's development. I also think everybody should consider trying to help stop pollution & climate change it doesn't have to be buying an electric car it could be as simple as having a house plant.
