This presentation explores the properties and uses of micro-organisms in various applications, focusing on biogas, biofuels, and bioremediation. Students will research and produce informative materials on biogas production from sewage and cattle waste, other biofuels like ethanol and biodiesel, and the importance of bioremediation in addressing environmental issues. The content will cover the advantages of biofuels and the bioremediation cycle, highlighting its significance in today's society, including oil spill management and clean water production.

Recap • So far what micro-organisms have you studied and what have they been used to do?
Research and presentation • In groups of 4 you are going to research one of the following slides • You must produce: - a presentation to inform the class to include the success criteria on the slide - poster/information booklet etc. for your folio
What are we learning today? • To describe what biogas is and where it comes from • To state what other biofuels there are, how they are made and why they are important • Advantages of biofuels • Explain what bioremediation is • Explain why bioremediation is important in todays society
To describe what biogas is and where it comes from Success criteria: • What gas is commonly known as biogas • Where most biogas comes from • How biogas is produced from sewage and cattle waste • What the biogas is used for
To state what other biofuels there are, how they are made and why they are important Success criteria: • Biofuels to include: - ethanol - gasohol - biodiesel • How each are produced (briefly) • Why they are important in some countries
Advantages of biofuels Success criteria: • Effect on pollution levels • Effect on waste products of other processes • Renewability vs. fossil fuels
Explain what bioremediation is Success criteria: • Definition of bioremediation • The bioremediation cycle
