Where on Earth

1
Where on Earth
Where Challenge

• Mr. Howe's Grade 7 class of Langevin Science
  School
• Calgary, Alberta

2
Where Challenge

• Question
• How do consumer goods get from the Earth to our
  hands?

3
Where Challenge

• Question
• I just bought a radio and I want to know where
  the materials used to make it come from.

4
Where Challenge

• I took the radio apart and saw some really cool
  stuff. Wonder what it is and what its made from?

5
Where Challenge

• So I asked my teacher..

6
Where Challenge

• Well the items you brought in Johnny are a
  transformer, resistor and integrated circuit.

Transformer
Resistor
Integrated Circuit
7
Where Challenge

• Well what are those things, and what are they
  made out of?

8
Where Challenge-Transformer

• A transformer is a device that transfers electric
  energy from one circuit to another through
  electrical conductors.
• Its made of steel, plastic, iron, and copper.

9
Where Challenge

• But where do they come from?

10
Where Challenge-Copper

• Well I know that most copper comes from Chile,
  U.S.A and Canada.

11
Where Challenge-Iron

• Iron is mined a lot in Canada and India. Iron is
  used 98 of the time for steel so whenever you
  are mining iron you are basically mining steel.

12
Where Challenge-plastic

• Plastic is a manmade substance made from oil. Oil
  can be found in many places all around the world.
  Some big oil wells are found in the U.S, Canada,
  Saudi Arabia, and Iran.

13
Where Challenge

• Well what about an integrated circuit?

14
Where Challenge-Integrated Circuit

• An Integrated Circuit is kind of like a chip.
  Like the motherboard in your computer.
• Its made of Aluminum, Silicon, and copper.

15
Where Challenge-Aluminum

• Aluminum is found in Canada, Australia, Brazil,
  Guinea, Jamaica, Ghana, Indonesia, Russia and
  Surinam.

16
Where Challenge- Silicon

• Silicon is found in the U.S, Iceland, Norway,
  Russia, Brazil and Canada.

17
Where Challenge- Resistor

• A resistor is a electric circuit component
  designed to oppose an electric current.
• Its made of ceramic, carbon film and nickel
  chromium.

18
Where Challenge

• Well where can we find nickel chromium and all
  that stuff?

19
Where Challenge-Nickel-Chromium

• Nickel-Chromium is composed of 80 Nickel and
  20 Chromium.
• Major Nickel production sites are found in
  Canada, Russia and New Caledonia.

20
Where Challenge-Chromium

• Chromium can be found in South Africa.

21
Where Challenge- Ceramic

• The ceramic in a resistor is made of aluminum
  oxide.
• Major Aluminum oxide plants are found in Canada,
  Spain, Portugal ,Italy, Australia, Kazakhstan and
  Japan.

22
Where Challenge-Carbon film

• Carbon film is composed mainly of carbon with
  some graphite. Carbon is a natural resource and
  is found almost everywhere.
• The most major graphite producers are China,
  India, Brazil and North Korea.

23
Summary
Well Johnny now you know WHERE these things
come from. Wow thanks that was really cool and
was fun!?
