Teaching Materials
Positives
- This resource clearly shows trends in per capita nitrous oxide emissions over time.
- The data can be viewed in a variety of ways including both animated and static charts and tables.
Additional Prerequisites
- Students should know how to read a line graph and be familiar with the term fugitive emissions.
- Students may need some background information about nitrous oxide as a greenhouse gas and an unregulated ozone-depleting substance.
Differentiation
- Cross-curricular connections could be made with geography classes by exploring trends in the location of countries and their per capita nitrous oxide emissions.
- Students could further research nitrous oxide using guiding questions such as:
- How potent is nitrous oxide as a greenhouse gas?
- How is nitrous oxide released from fertilizer and waste lagoons?
- How does fertilizer use contribute to eutrophication and affect water ecosystems?
- How important is nitrous oxide as an ozone-damaging gas?
- How potent is nitrous oxide as a greenhouse gas?
