Lesson Details

Key learning points

Removing carbon dioxide from the atmosphere reduces greenhouse gases.
Scientists and engineers are creating new ways to store carbon dioxide underground.
Compressing (squeezing) carbon dioxide gas turns it into a liquid and take up less space for storage.
Scientists and engineers are creating ways to store carbon dioxide under the North Sea.

Common misconception

Eco-anxiety can be caused by news coverage of rising greenhouse gases and global temperatures, and pupils may feel like little is being done to prevent this.

Use the slides to look at the many ways that scientists and engineers are working to create new technologies to capture, remove and reduce the amount of carbon dioxide in the atmosphere.

Keywords

Carbon dioxide - Carbon dioxide gas is one of the gases in our atmosphere.
Atmosphere - The atmosphere is the air that surrounds planet Earth.
Gas - A gas is a substance that is not a solid or a liquid. Gases have no fixed shape and are often invisible.
Capture - To capture something is to take it and hold it.
Liquid - A liquid can flow, has a fixed volume and takes the shape of the bottom of its container.
