Discussion and Conclusion

• From our Results we can find that most of the students do not know clearly what is the nature of NG and how it is formed.

• Lecture could increased their information a lot.

• Most of the students know the effect of Natural Gas on the economy of Qatar.

Recommendations

• Making several lectutres for schools about Natural Gas.

• Writing stories and making movies cartoons about NG for children.

• Making brochures about NG.• Inclusion of NG in the curriculum of

science.• Make many competitions (like

GASNA) and activities about NG.
