Coal and petroleum are both fossil fuels that are formed from the remains of ancient organic matter. Coal forms when plant matter accumulates in swamps and is subjected to heat and pressure over millions of years. Petroleum forms from the remains of marine organisms buried in sea sediments. As these remains are buried deeper, heat breaks them down into hydrocarbon compounds like oil and natural gas. These fossil fuels provide fuel and raw materials for many products after extraction and processing. Coal is used for fuel and in steel production, while petroleum yields fuels as well as asphalt, plastics, and other materials through fractional distillation and chemical processing.

Faciliated Breakout Session at Duke University retreat, "Beyond Disability, Beyond Compliance," Oct. 23, 2014. This is the PPT presentation for the session.
This document discusses assessing student learning, especially in distance learning science courses. It presents results comparing student performance in a traditional face-to-face chemistry course with an on-campus laboratory to an online chemistry course using a home-based laboratory kit. Students in both courses took the American Chemical Society standardized exam as a pre-test and post-test. Results found no significant difference in learning gains between the two formats, as both groups improved their scores substantially and performed similarly to national averages. This provides quantitative evidence that online science courses using home laboratory kits can effectively develop student understanding and skills comparable to traditional face-to-face courses.

THE SACRIFICE HOW PRO-PALESTINE PROTESTS STUDENTS ARE SACRIFICING TO CHANGE T...indexPub
The recent surge in pro-Palestine student activism has prompted significant responses from universities, ranging from negotiations and divestment commitments to increased transparency about investments in companies supporting the war on Gaza. This activism has led to the cessation of student encampments but also highlighted the substantial sacrifices made by students, including academic disruptions and personal risks. The primary drivers of these protests are poor university administration, lack of transparency, and inadequate communication between officials and students. This study examines the profound emotional, psychological, and professional impacts on students engaged in pro-Palestine protests, focusing on Generation Z's (Gen-Z) activism dynamics. This paper explores the significant sacrifices made by these students and even the professors supporting the pro-Palestine movement, with a focus on recent global movements. Through an in-depth analysis of printed and electronic media, the study examines the impacts of these sacrifices on the academic and personal lives of those involved. The paper highlights examples from various universities, demonstrating student activism's long-term and short-term effects, including disciplinary actions, social backlash, and career implications. The researchers also explore the broader implications of student sacrifices. The findings reveal that these sacrifices are driven by a profound commitment to justice and human rights, and are influenced by the increasing availability of information, peer interactions, and personal convictions. The study also discusses the broader implications of this activism, comparing it to historical precedents and assessing its potential to influence policy and public opinion. The emotional and psychological toll on student activists is significant, but their sense of purpose and community support mitigates some of these challenges. However, the researchers call for acknowledging the broader Impact of these sacrifices on the future global movement of FreePalestine.
