Biomass - Science Hurumanu

Hurumanu - From Trash to Gas: Biomass



RENEWABLE ENERGY

Aim: To compare the amount of gas that is produced from different types of biomass.

Material For Bottle 1:
  1.   1cup Horse Manure
  2.   1Bottle
  3.   1Balloon
  4. Gloves 
  5. Water

Answer each question
  • How is it made?
  • What is it used for? 
  • Where is it made? 
  • What is it made with? 
  • What countries use it?   
Place 2 images of the fuel.
What are its uses in the future?
