compounds.
2. CO2 is returned
to the air when the
plant respires.

taken in by
plants is then
eaten by animals.
You need 5 different coloured highlighters.

animal material
is broken down
by decomposers.

atmosphere by
respiration.

is turned into
fossil fuels.

returned to the
atmosphere
when fossil fuels
are burnt
(combustion).

Why is carbon dioxide increasing?
• There are two main reasons why the amount of carbon dioxide in our atmosphere is increasing:
1. More trees are being cut down. This means that there are less trees to take in carbon dioxide for photosynthesis so more carbon dioxide stays in the air.
2. We are burning more fossil fuels and this makes carbon dioxide gas.
Why is carbon dioxide increasing?
• There are two main reasons why the amount of carbon dioxide in our atmosphere is _________:
1. More trees are being cut ____. This means that there are less trees to take in carbon dioxide for photosynthesis so more carbon dioxide _____ in the air.
2. We are _______ more fossil fuels and this makes carbon dioxide ____.
Global Warming
• Scientists have noticed that the earth is gradually getting warmer. They think that this is because the amounts of oxygen and carbon dioxide are getting out of balance.
• Carbon dioxide is building up in our atmosphere and causes the greenhouse effect.
• A layer of carbon dioxide makes the heat bounce back to earth, so the earth gets warmer. They call this the greenhouse effect, and it leads to global warming.

Properties of the Fractions
The hydrocarbons are made up of chains of carbon atoms of different lengths, some with only one or two carbon atoms; others with over 70 carbon atoms. The hydrocarbons making up the fractions coming off the top of the tower are the shortest ones; as we go down the column the chains get longer and longer. The length of the chain affects the physical properties of the fractions.
Viscosity & Flammability
VISCOSITY means how thick or „hard to pour‟ a liquid is.
e.g. A viscous liquid (like syrup) is
thicker than a liquid with low viscosity
(like water).
FLAMMABILITY means how easily something catches fire
