1. www.bp.com/bpes/cft2009 Carbon Footprint Toolkit 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.

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

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

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

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

8. www.bp.com/bpes/cft2009 Carbon Footprint Toolkit 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

9. www.bp.com/bpes/cft2009 Carbon Footprint Toolkit 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

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

11. www.bp.com/bpes/cft2009 Carbon Footprint Toolkit Correct! As the Earth has gradually moved closer to the sun the temperature of the planet has increased

12. www.bp.com/bpes/cft2009 Carbon Footprint Toolkit Sorry, wrong answer! As the Earth has gradually moved closer to the sun the temperature of the planet has increased

13. www.bp.com/bpes/cft2009 Carbon Footprint Toolkit Global warming will lead to global famine as crops will no longer grow

14. www.bp.com/bpes/cft2009 Carbon Footprint Toolkit Correct! There will be a shift in the places where crops can be grown and the types of crop that can be grown, not complete loss of crops

15. www.bp.com/bpes/cft2009 Carbon Footprint Toolkit Sorry, wrong answer! There will be a shift in places where crops can be grown and the types of crop that can be grown, not complete loss of crops

16. www.bp.com/bpes/cft2009 Carbon Footprint Toolkit There is enough space under the North Sea to store Europe’s entire carbon output for 70 to 200 years

17. www.bp.com/bpes/cft2009 Carbon Footprint Toolkit Correct! Amazingly, this is true. The Norwegian company Statoil has been storing carbon this way for years in the North Sea

18. www.bp.com/bpes/cft2009 Carbon Footprint Toolkit Sorry, wrong answer! Amazingly, this is true. The Norwegian company Statoil has been storing carbon this way for years in the North Sea

19. www.bp.com/bpes/cft2009 Carbon Footprint Toolkit Around the world there are plans to build 140 new coal-fired power stations by 2030 (India and China plan to build the most)

20. www.bp.com/bpes/cft2009 Carbon Footprint Toolkit The plans are for 1,400 new power stations Correct!

21. www.bp.com/bpes/cft2009 Carbon Footprint Toolkit Sorry, wrong answer! The plans are for 1,400 new power stations

22. www.bp.com/bpes/cft2009 Carbon Footprint Toolkit The world’s total energy consumption has risen by almost 50% in the past 30 years

23. www.bp.com/bpes/cft2009 Carbon Footprint Toolkit Correct! This is due to the rapid rise in the use of technology

24. www.bp.com/bpes/cft2009 Carbon Footprint Toolkit Sorry, wrong answer! This is due to the rapid rise in the use of technology
