Fossil Fuels

Fossil fuel — that’s what dinosaurs used to power their cars, right? Wrong! So, what are fossil fuels? In this BrainPOP UK movie, Tim and Moby introduce you to fossil fuel energy sources — like natural gas, coal, and oil. In this educational, animated movie you’ll learn how fossil fuels formed and what we use these important resources for. Find out how plants and animals from millions of years ago still help us today, plus learn all about petroleum and where we find it. Discover how both your family car and kitchen stove need fossil fuels to function, as well as what power plants need to generate electricity. And if you’re very good, we’ll also reveal the down side to using fossil fuels – can you guess what it is?
