Science Buddies: "Ask an Expert"

how can I show people that fossil fuel usage affects our planet?

Hello,
That is a great idea! One way you could show that fossil fuel usage affects our planet is by looking at data from the past twenty or so years and comparing the usage of fossil fuels to climate change. A fun experiment to demonstrate the effect of greenhouse gases on our planet is to simulate it in a jar. Here is a link to instructions for this project: https://www.steampoweredfamily.com/the- ... xperiment/. If you want to compare fossil fuels to renewable fuels, we have an experiment that does just that: https://www.sciencebuddies.org/science- ... able-fuels. Have fun with this project!
