Impact of electric cars on the oil and gas industry
This lesson plan focuses on evaluating the impact of electric vehicles on the traditional oil and gas industry. Over three lessons, students will first learn about electric cars, gain an understanding of the oil and gas sector, and finally assess the intersection of these two subjects to discuss the economic and environmental implications of electric vehicles as an alternative energy source.
This lesson provides students with a foundational understanding of electric vehicles (EVs), including their history, underlying technology, and impact on modern transportation. Students will learn about key milestones in EV development and discuss current trends shaping the future of transportation.
Lesson 2: The Oil and Gas Industry: An Overview
Overview
This lesson will provide students with an understanding of the oil and gas industry's role in the global economy, including its economic importance, environmental impact, and how it interacts with the growing alternative energy sector. Students will engage in discussions and activities to explore how the industry's significance might change with the advent of cleaner technologies.
Lesson 3: Assessing the Impact of Electric Vehicles on the Oil and Gas Industry
Overview
The lesson for today will engage students in a critical analysis of how the increasing use of electric vehicles (EVs) is impacting the oil and gas industry. This will include an exploration of market dynamics, economic implications, and environmental considerations. Students will engage in discussions, group activities, and critical thinking exercises to understand the interconnectedness of these industries and potential future trends.
