**2.Lesson**: Bio-fuel: The Fischer-Tropsch Process **3.Standards**:Science in Personal and Social Perspectives, Environmental Quality **4.Instructional Objectives**: By the end of this lesson the students will understand the Fischer-Tropsch process as an alternative to jet fuel and possibly other fossil fuels as well as other types of alternative biofuels. **5.Instructional Strategies:** Collaborative Learning, Outlining **6.Materials**: overhead, LCD, laptop, notes, text, Lab materials **7.Introduction**: Review outline **(SJ)**: Lecture covers**(conceptualize)**:  •  BIOFUEL  •  Synthetic Fuel vs. Standard Diesel Combustion  •  Why is this coming up now?  •  Sunday February 24, 2008:  •  What is synthetic biofuel?  •  Fischer-Tropsch  •  Alliance For Synthetic Fuels in Europe(ASFE)  •  What is the benefit of biofuel?  •  Syntroleum  •  Syntroleum-Tyson Foods  •  2006:  •  December 15, 2006:  •  July 2007:  •  2010:  •  2016: **8.Teaching Procedure:** Review outline and students perform experiments **(IT)** in small groups **(combine)** creating ** (Conceptualize): ** a. Biodiesel b. Ethanol c. Fischer-Tropsch The group’s whose biofuel burns the longest, wins **(SP) (Compare Contrast)** **9.Closure:** Students will run a model car and set up a model home to run on biodiesel, ethanol and the results of the Fischer-Tropsch as well as solar cells( **Conceptualize** ). Students are to answer questions and report their results of experiments they will conduct. Students will also be given reading material to SQ3R **(IF).** **10.Evaluation of Learning**: Quiz, Lab Report **(Comprehend, compare contrast in the conclusion section)**. **11.Accommodations**: Lined paper with lesson outline may need to be provided in order for better structure of the notes. Explanation and definitions of certain terms should be reviewed to ensure understanding. For ELL students, laptops with translation component are available for instructions in another language. **12.Enhancement/ Enrichment Activity(IT)**: Students will perform experiments on the creation and use of fossil fuels. Students have currently been conducting an experiment on the affects of acid rain in vegetation**(Conceptualize).** *If sodium methoxide, lye and phenolphthalein and storage buckets with spouts are available, the lab can be done *Abbreviated lab procedure: **(SP)** 1. Acquire waste oil from a fryer or restaurant, etc. 2. Filter for food scraps 3. Titrate with lye and phenolphthalein until solution stays pink for 10 seconds. 4. Treat with sodium methoxide 5. Filter off glycerin 6. Wash 2-3 times with water to rid of soap. 7. You have biodiesel! If possible, test in a small engine **(Compare Contrast whose runs best and why).**
