Alternative Fuel

Neil Young is a famous musician who is "on the road" promoting ethanol, a type of fuel that can replace gasoline and other fossil fuels. Neil thinks this action is very important to draw the attention of people to environmental problems, such as pollution and global warming. Watch the video here.

If you think you don't know Neil's music, I'm sure you will recognize this song.

 

Action: the process of doing something, especially when dealing with a problem or difficulty

 The hunter on the video has two options: to shoot the bear or perform another action. Listen carefully and follow the instructions. Write the words correctly.

Modern-day slavery

 "According to official estimates there are 21 million people trapped in some form of slavery.

  Os alunos do 9º ano lembram-se de termos lido um texto visto um filme e debatido este tema recentemente. Carrega no link acima e observa as fotografias, lendo as legendas que acompanham cada uma.

Webquest - Climate Change

Start here to learn about Climate Change. Some of the links are dead. New ones will be posted in order to accomplish all tasks. Sorry.
We are back with new links to the tasks that replace the missing ones.
Click here to watch video number 1 on task 3. It's about scientists in Antarctica.
Video number 2, also about their work, is here.
 Task number 5 is no longer possible  to accomplish (as it has been designed) because the video about the Summit is gone. We will replace the source by this . More information here (What can we do?) and here (What is Europe doing?).
I hope this is an interesting challenge to you.
