  1. True or false? Teacher’s notes This simple ‘true or false?’ quiz covers various aspects of energy use and its impact on the environment. Students will have to apply their knowledge to make educated guesses as to the correct answers. Students could work in teams to answer the questions, with one vote per team, so that they have to reach a consensus for each answer. The answers could be written down by students or recorded by a show of hands and tallied up on the classroom whiteboard. Carbon Footprint Toolkit www.bp.com/bpes/cft2009

  2. True or false? Carbon Footprint Toolkit www.bp.com/bpes/cft2009

  3. True or false? • How much do you know about the energy we use? • Test your knowledge with this quiz • Discuss in your group whether or not the following statements are true or false. Your group will only have one vote for each statement so you will need to agree on your answer • Select the true or false button to reveal the answer Carbon Footprint Toolkit www.bp.com/bpes/cft2009

  4. The greenhouse gas that concerns scientists the most is carbon dioxide (click on the ‘true’ or ‘false’ button to reveal the answer) Carbon Footprint Toolkit www.bp.com/bpes/cft2009

  5. (click on the ‘next’ button to move to the next question) Correct! Carbon dioxide is the greenhouse gas that most concerns scientists because excessive amounts can lead to global warming Carbon Footprint Toolkit www.bp.com/bpes/cft2009

  6. (click on the ‘next’ button to move to the next question) Sorry, wrong answer! Carbon dioxide is the greenhouse gas that most concerns scientists because excessive amounts can lead to global warming Carbon Footprint Toolkit www.bp.com/bpes/cft2009

  7. Hydroelectric power is the cleanest renewable energy Carbon Footprint Toolkit www.bp.com/bpes/cft2009

  8. Correct! Flooded areas caused by hydroelectric power stations are rarely cleared of dead vegetation so decomposition occurs, releasing methane and carbon dioxide, which pollute the atmosphere Carbon Footprint Toolkit www.bp.com/bpes/cft2009

  9. Sorry, wrong answer! Flooded areas caused by hydroelectric power stations are rarely cleared of dead vegetation so decomposition occurs, releasing methane and carbon dioxide, which pollute the atmosphere Carbon Footprint Toolkit www.bp.com/bpes/cft2009

  10. In the past, global climates have changed owing to changes in the earth’s orbit Carbon Footprint Toolkit www.bp.com/bpes/cft2009
