·       analyze the advantages and disadvantages of using petrol, diesel and CNG as fuels for car

Material Required: (each material per group)
To be sourced out by the students: scrapbook, gum, picture (cut- outs of the model of the selected cars), safety scissors, sketch pens, colourful pencils, crayons
(Note: materials other than the scrap book may vary as per the students’ discretion)

Preparation prior to session:
·       Inform the students  to find out the following:
®    the advantages and disadvantages  of fuels like petrol, diesel and CNG
®    one car model that works on petrol, diesel and CNG within a price range from 2 lacs to 20 lacs

·       Draw the given table on the class board and ask students to copy and complete it.
