The data shows changes in oil use and carbon dioxide emissions over time in different countries, allowing for multiple comparisons.
Additional Prerequisites
Students should be able to read line graphs to understand the data.
Students should understand that oil use contributes to carbon dioxide emissions.
Differentiation
Before viewing the resource, have students predict five countries that produce the largest amount of carbon dioxide emissions from oil. Ask students to think about what informed their predictions and then allow them to view the resource to see if they were correct. Have students discuss the data in pairs or small groups.
