Dear LOR user,


Coal, Electricity, and Carbon Dioxide Activity


Students will research information about coal in order to figure out the amount of electricity used in a typical classroom, the actual cost to run the lights in a typical classroom, the amount of coal it would take to produce the amount of electricity needed to run the lights, and the amount of carbon dioxide produced when the coal is burned.

Learning Targets: 
Students will understand how carbon dioxide is produced from burning coal.
Students will demonstrate an understanding of how much energy and coal is needed to run the lights in a typical classroom.
