Teaching Materials
Positives
- The interactive provides three different ways for students to visualize the data.
- The line graph and map are animated to illustrate change over time.
Additional Prerequisites
- Students should know how to read a data table, line graph, and global map.
- Teacher may need to provide background information on flaring.
Differentiation
- In math classes, this can be used as a practical application of the uses of line graphs.
- Physics classes could use this resource to highlight the negative impact of flaring and challenge students to find alternatives to this practice.
- Cross-curricular connections can be made with social studies and geography classes by exploring the similar characteristics of countries with low or high levels of emissions from flaring.
This resource examines annual CO2 emissions from flaring, CO2 emissions were normalized with a conversion factor of 3.664. The method used is appropriate. Students can explore this resource to gain knowledge on flaring in selected countries. The resource is recommended for teaching.
