Task 2: Students to come up with a definition of mitigation then copy out the real definition. Task 3: Overview of the formation of coal, oil and gas. Then students identify the advantages and disadvantages of using fossil fuels. Task 4: Using the PowerPoint attached (can be printed for a handout) students fill in each type of renewable energy on their sheets.
