AI Thread Summary
The discussion revolves around creating a song about oil for a virtual school assignment, focusing on its geology and extraction process. Participants suggest researching key concepts such as how oil is formed, the role of sediments and decomposition, and the importance of terms like kerogen and hydrocarbons. The song must creatively incorporate these scientific terms while clearly conveying the main idea and demonstrating understanding of the topic. Grading criteria emphasize clarity, creativity, and minimal errors. Overall, the challenge of composing an engaging and informative song about oil is acknowledged, with some expressing sympathy for the task.

oil song?

I am in virtual school and i have to create a song about oil. I don't know where to start. So if anyone could help, it would be great!


Activity - Create a short song about the geology of oil. (You may use the tune of a song you know and change the lyrics.)

Audience - Middle school / high school science students.

What to do - Search the web for information to help you with your song.

While searching the web determine the following:

*

How oil is created and trapped deep under the earth
*

How we uncover that oil and bring it to the surface
*

In your research find and define the words in the chart below. Aim at an understanding of how you would used these terms as they are related to the formation and mining of oil.
*

Because here is the kicker - you will include the words in your song.
You must include them all:

sediments decomposition kerogen pressure permeable or permeability
organic reaction reservoir rock heat or temperature hydrocarbons
carbon dioxide burning water porosity or pores trap

Grading - Your song should do the following:

*

Creatively demonstrate an understanding of concept/content through the song.
*

State from three to five important points to remember.
*

State the main idea/theme clearly and concisely.
*

Have few grammatical, syntax and/or spelling errors.
*

Assist the listener in understanding the topic/content.

that sounds like it is going to be a long and complex song...I doubt it will make the top ten list any time soon.

I would say the first step would be to research the answers to all the required points you need to cover, then try to arrange them in some sort of order in which you will sing them.
 
yes i am in angelshares class... i guess we are both having the same trouble... imagine that ?

I truly feel sorry for you, let's just hope you don't have to make a recording or sing it live.

TL;DR Summary: cannot find out error in solution proposed. [![question with rate laws][1]][1] Now the rate law for the reaction (i.e reaction rate) can be written as: $$ R= k[N_2O_5] $$ my main question is, WHAT is this reaction equal to? what I mean here is, whether $$k[N_2O_5]= -d[N_2O_5]/dt$$ or is it $$k[N_2O_5]= -1/2 \frac{d}{dt} [N_2O_5] $$ ? The latter seems to be more apt, as the reaction rate must be -1/2 (disappearance rate of N2O5), which adheres to the stoichiometry of the...
I don't get how to argue it. i can prove: evolution is the ability to adapt, whether it's progression or regression from some point of view, so if evolution is not constant then animal generations couldn`t stay alive for a big amount of time because when climate is changing this generations die. but they dont. so evolution is constant. but its not an argument, right? how to fing arguments when i only prove it.. analytically, i guess it called that (this is indirectly related to biology, im...
