  • Worksheet
  • Join to access all included materials

Technology tutees read a description about coconuts and how they are used to make biodiesel fuel. Note that the link to the article does not work, and the article does not appear to be available online. There are, if you look for one, plenty of sources of information about the use of coconuts in biofuels. In this math-based lesson plan students will calculate greenhouse gas emissions, convert liters to miles, and calculate annual cost of fuel.
