Did you know? Following from a child s interest, we are going to learn all about Fuel and Cars! For a car to move it needs to have fuel inside. We need to have food in our bodies to move. Cars are the same - they need fuel to get them moving. There is more than one type of fuel for cars. They can run on diesel, petrol and liquid gas. Some cars even use electricity to move! You may have seen your mum or dad putting a hose into your car at the petrol station. The fuel is pumped up from a tank, through the hose and into your car. Your car can only have one type of fuel, so make sure mum/dad puts the correct fuel in the car otherwise your car will not be able to work properly! https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=oWxQBY-OUYA
Millions of years ago the earths surface was covered with water Living in the water were lots of plants and animals These plants and animals grew old and when they died they fell to the bottom of the sea into a big pile Sand and mud began to cover the plants and animals There would be a layer of sand and a layer of mud. These layers became heavy and created rocks Heat from the earth and the weight from the heavy rocks squashed the plants and animals, which created oil
When the oil is ready it slowly rises through the rocks, although some oil gets trapped underground. Oil can then be found in many parts of the world. These are called oil fields. To get to the oil you need a big drill and a rig. This includes the platform which supports the drill and the workers. Once the rig is built they can then drill a well into the ground under the water to reach the oil. Below is a video from someone who works on a real oil rig. You can move the camera around to look about ! https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=y05IcDJvd4Q What could you use to build a model oil rig? Remember to Tweet us a picture @HazeldeneFamC
The oil that comes from the sea is then boiled to create fuel. From there the fuel is split into individual tanks for example petrol or diesel.
