Learn how organic materials decompose to form fossil fuels, such as natural gas. Also, simulate the conditions of how methane, a natural gas, is produced and captured. Finally observe, record, and analyze data.
There are no supplies shipped to you for this lesson.
Lesson Objective: Explore how natural gas, particularly methane, is produced and captured by observing the decomposition of organic materials over seven days. Understand the use of natural gas as an energy source and the use of natural gas to generate electricity to power homes.
