Students will explain what natural gas is and describe how it is an energy source by designing and constructing a model to capture methane.
The Energy Coalition will send you, per student group, 1 balloon, masking tape, twine, disposable gloves, measuring cup, soil and a funnel to bring this lesson to life.
Lesson Objective: Using the model, students will develop and test variables, collect data and measurements, and graph results about natural gas collection, specifically methane.
Suggested Teaching Time: 45 minutes
NGSS Standards: 3-LS4-4., 4-PS3-4. 4-ESS3-2., 5-ESS3-1.
