2 Concept Notes for Reading

. Name:
Fossil fuels are source of energy derived from the fossilized remains
of once living plants and animals million years ago. Those remains
Date:
of dead plants and animals long time ago were buried and Grade and Section:
fossilized in the earth’s crust, thus this fuels are found beneath the Earth Science
earth’s surface. Since this fuel originated from the remains of once
living organisms, fossil fuels composed mainly of high content of
carbon and hydrogen, called hydrocarbons. Fossil fuels includes ACTIVITY
coal, oil (includes petroleum or crude oil) and natural gas.

carbon content.
a. Anthracite - which is the highest rank of coal. It is a hard,
brittle, and black lustrous coal, often referred to as hard
coal, containing a high percentage of fixed carbon and
a low percentage of volatile matter
b. Bituminous Coal - It usually has a high heating value and
is the most common type of coal used in electricity
generation. It appears shiny and smooth at first glance,
but when you look closely, you will see that it has layers.
c. Subbituminous coal - which is black in color and dull, and
has a higher heating value than lignite.
d. Lignite - which is also known as brown coal. It is the lowest
grade coal with the least concentration of carbon.
 2. Oil - also known as Petroleum is another type of fossil fuel that
is non-renewable. It is a liquid type of fossil fuel composed
mostly of hydrocarbons. Like coal, petroleum originates from
the remains of living organisms. Petroleum comes from ancient
marine organisms like marine plants, algae and bacteria. This
can be
extracted by
drilling on land
or at sea. It
can also be
extracted
through strip
mining in the
case of tar
sands oil and oil shale. Once extracted, this oil will be
transported to refineries to transform oil into usable fuels like
propane, kerosene, gasoline and other fuel products. Also, it is
used in making plastic and paint products.
3. Natural Gas - It is a naturally occurring hydrocarbon gas with
the mixture of methane. It is the Earth’s cleanest fossil fuel and
is odorless and colorless in its natural state. Natural gas is
produced from sedimentary rock formation by forcing
chemicals, water, and sand down a well under high pressure.
The Philippines’ main domestic source of energy is the
Malampaya natural gas field which is located at Palawan
Island.
How fossil fuels
are formed?
Millions of years
ago the remains
of prehistoric
plants and
animals are
buried beneath
the Earth’s
surface. These
remains were
covered by mud.
The mud
sediment was
buried by more
sediments and It started to change into rock as the temperature
and pressure increase. In that case fossil fuels are formed in a low
oxygen environment. The plant and animal remain were altered
chemically by this process, and slowly changed into crude oil and
natural gas. Through the spaces of permeable rock, the oils move
 upwards and will be trapped if it reached impermeable rock. Oil
companies can drill down through the impermeable rocks to get it
out. They are then able to turn it into products we can use, such as
petrol and diesel. On the other hand, coal can be extracted from
the Earth through underground mining. Once it has been
extracted, it can be used to fuel power plants for electricity.

4 Performance task: Essential literacy skills

Express what you learned about fossil fuels while
practicing essential literacy skills . (5 members in a group)

Produce a short clip (movie) describing the environmental

impact of burning fossil fuels, and give suggestions on how to
conserve this nonrenewable resource.
