Pollution Is Not The Solution

I took a class called Fuel. In this class, we talked about different types of fuel, how it's used, who uses it, and most importantly how it impacts us. We learned about renewable and non-renewable resources. An example of a non-renewable resource is coal because it doesn't can't be gathered again to use. An example of a renewable resource is solar power because you can continue to gather solar power and it doesn't just disappear into thin air. We also went to different websites to find out how many tons of CO2 we use per year. I use about 18.1 tons of carbon per year. In this presentation, I will go over how much pollution I create, how I can slow or stop this, and ideas of what you can do to slow down your pollution. I also explain how we can bring down our CO2 ppm level from 400 to 350. I hope you find this interesting and learn something new.

Super Solar

I took a class called Fuel. This class was about fuel, what it's made of and how it works. We learned about renewable and non-renewable resources. My first AP was a non-renewable resource and this one is a renewable resource that I choose. I chose to talk about solar energy. In this AP I had to make a slide show and create a video that goes along with the slide show. I will talk about how they work, where they work best, what types of jobs are created, why you should switch, why a business should switch, and about how Walmart has switched and saved millions of dollars.

Oil will Spoil

I took a class called Fuel. So far in this class, I have learned about different types of fuel, the periodic table, atoms, molecules, renewable resources and non-renewable resources. I learned about how these things affect the environment and how they impact us. For example, I learned about which types of fuel create carbon monoxide when there burned and which don't. Also, I learned how the U.S uses way more fuel than most other places on earth by a lot. We also learned about the history, the elements, and what everything on the periodic table means. That part was hard but after a while, I started to figure it out. We also learned a few math concepts that were challenging but started to get easier by the end. In my slide show, I go over one particular non-renewable resource called oil. I go over the molecular structure, the harms of oil, and I compare the United States oil usage to that of Canadas. So I hope you enjoy the slide show and learn something.
