Examples of Fossil Fuels:

1 Coal 

2 oil 

3 Natural gases  
 




Mining Fossil Fuels

What Fossil Fuels are mined?
How are they mined?

1.Scrapping 

2. digging

3. drilling 

4. Exposing buried resources

Where are they mined?

1. Australia

2. Russia 

3. Austria
4. Brazil
5. China

Activity;


Material:

1. Pencil
2. Sheet/work
   

Steps:
  1. Draw what your earth looks like before it gets destroyed or mined or how you would want it to look

2. Then draw your island after it has got destroyed.

3. After that show your teacher.

Findings: What did you find out as a result of your mining?
That it is not as easy as people make it sound. 

Conclusion: 

Because you have to be very careful and take your time doing it.
