Fuel for Debate: Examining the Natural Gas Fracking Controversy

Physical Science, PS1: Matter and Its Interactions, PS3: Energy

http://learning.blogs.nytimes.com/2012/09/12/fuel-for-debate-examining-the-natural-gas-fracking-controversy/?_r=0

What is hydraulic fracturing? Why is it so controversial? In this lesson, students will define hydrofracking, identify how the demand for natural gas is changing, then research and map how natural gas development may impact a community.
