Geothermal Energy

This is my second action project for my fuel class. This unit was about different kinds of energy, and how they transform into other types of energy. For this action project I looked at a renewable resource that we can use for electricity, and tried to promote this resource to a business. My favorite part of this project was making my diagram. I'm not normally good at using technology to make a drawing, but in the moment I created the diagram I was like an artistic tech genius. I had some trouble finding some relevant pictures, and the pictures that I did find sometimes didn't have a title or author, therefore making it hard to cite. Eventually I was able to find good pictures; and besides that this AP was pretty fun.

Petroleum

This is my first and final action project for my fuel class. This unit was about different ways of making energy, and if they’re renewable or not.  For this action project I looked at a nonrenewable resource we use for electricity, and showed how the US and a country of my choice consumes this resource. To show how they’re used I had to make a graph of my nonrenewable resource's usage in both countries.  My favorite part of this project was looking at how drastically different the usage of crude oil in the US vs Greece is. I had so much trouble making the graph. For some reason the graph would use the wrong labels for each axis. I eventually fixed it, and besides that this AP was pretty fun.
