unit 7: the world of industry
Here you have some videos and links to enrich the study of the unit. We will introduce some of them in class but there will be others that you just may watch and then extract some conclusions and ideas.
The first one is the one we have used to introduce the unit, it gives an interesting point of view about the future of the energy we are using. Have a look at it!!

This one is a very simple one about the different types of energy. It is quite enlightening because of its clarity but it is also very simple and a bit boring (just for clarifying ideas)
THIS IS A LINK TO A VERY SHORT AND INTERESTING VIDEO MADE BY BRITISH PETROLEUM. Just press the button
This is a very simple video about renewable and non renewable sources of energy but it is so clear...
And here you have a really fun video about energy. It is an adaptation of a song to explain energy. You will enjoy the song and we are sure you will also learn something...
In this video three professors from Cambridge University presents us the reality of our energy consumptions:
"Today, we consume a truly vast amount of energy - with demand continuing to skyrocket at an alarming rate. We know that producing this energy has significant environmental impacts and emitting so much carbon dioxide into the atmosphere could cause catastrophic climate change. In this film, three academics look at wind power, carbon capture and storage (CCS) and material efficiency as examples of how we can cut our C02 emissions. They suggest that we must act now in order to avoid the serious risks of man-made global warming, one of our greatest challenges in the 21st century"

This is a video that presents an alternative to our current sources of energy. It is an interesting posibility...
