Jimmy’s Global Harvest
8th January 2010
A warm woolly hat tip to Himesh Patel from the Heathland School, Hounslow for spotting this superb resource that will be available for a while on the BBC iPlayer. Himesh points out that Jimmy’s Global Harvest: Brazil on BBC1 last night was an excellent epsiode that explained how Brazil produces biofuels using its crop harvest. The show goes through the full production phase from harvest to final product. If you teach anyone sitting the AS Micro paper next week, it is extremely useful for the evaluation of biofuels as an alternative to traditional fossil fuel energy. In addition it is pitched at the correct level enabling access for all students. The link is here Pay particular attention from 22.12 mins (where the biofuel begins). Definately something to recommend students to watch.
