Emissions are materials released into the environment from a particular process.

Carbon dioxide is a type of gas found in Earth's atmosphere.

Gases which contribute towards global warming are called greenhouse gases.

A debate is a formal discussion in which opposing ideas are put forward and which usually ends with a vote.

Debating the use of electric cars (non-statutory)

Science

In the Changing circuits unit, pupils learnt to give reasons for variations in how components function, such as the brightness of bulbs. In the Series circuits unit, they will build on this knowledge to find rules for electric current and voltage in series circuits 

In the Simple electrical circuits units, pupils learnt to construct a simple series electrical circuit, identifying and naming its basic parts. In this Changing circuits unit, pupils will build on this knowledge to compare and give reasons for variations in how components in a circuit function

Changing circuits

{{}} fuels are made over millions of years, from fossilised plants and animals buried deep beneath the earth.  

What do traditional cars use to make them move? 

Gases which contribute towards global {{}} are called greenhouse gases. 

Which of these gases is a greenhouse gas emitted from petrol and diesel cars? 

They produce no carbon dioxide when being driven.

Which of these are advantages of electric cars compared to petrol and diesel cars?

To share different ideas and come up with solutions or decisions.

Which of these are ways that you can provide electricity to electrical appliances

A {{}} is a small building or structure, usually made of glass or plastic, which is used to keep plants warm while they grow. 

Different types of transport use different things to make them move.  Match the transport to how it is made to move.

A {{}} is the remains or traces of living things that are sometimes preserved in rock.

What do you call a material that can be burned to give heat or light or to make engines work? 

By using people or animals to turn wheels.
