For example, apples are natural because they exist in nature, and were not caused by humans. Something synthetic is anything that was made or altered by humans and wasn't caused by nature. For instance, synthetic diamonds are synthetic because they did not appear in nature, instead they were grown in labs.]]> 2020-11-19 16:47:14 UTC https://padlet.com/hector_lucio/9dkfgih0kifh/wish/942233676 Hector_Lucio https://padlet.com/hector_lucio/9dkfgih0kifh/wish/942265583 All synthetic materials are made of natural materials. Everything around us is made of natural materials.]]> 2020-11-19 16:53:00 UTC https://padlet.com/hector_lucio/9dkfgih0kifh/wish/942265583 Hector_Lucio https://padlet.com/hector_lucio/9dkfgih0kifh/wish/942292510 1. A dead dinosaur which would eventually turn into crude oil
2. Crude oil going into an oil refinery to be turned into oil through a process known as fractional distillation
3.Oil then goes into another factory to be processed into either petrol or naptha
4.Naptha then goes into another factory to be turned into polyesterene]]> 2020-11-19 16:57:50 UTC https://padlet.com/hector_lucio/9dkfgih0kifh/wish/942292510 Hector_Lucio https://padlet.com/hector_lucio/9dkfgih0kifh/wish/942340866 A pro of buying a synthetic diamond is that they are 20-40% cheaper than natural diamonds. A con of buying a Synthetic diamond is that the heat and pressure needed to make a lab grown diamond is equal to a volcanic eruption, which demands huge amounts of energy. The HPHT method can use as many as 700 kWh per carat, and CVD can use as many as to 1,000 kWh per carat, at this pace many diamond mines have lower CO2 emissions than some diamond labs. A pro of buying natural diamonds is that since they are limited, they will maintain their price, meanwhile synthetic diamonds can continue to be made so their price is more likely to drop. A con of buying natural diamonds is that they are more expensive than synthetic diamonds.]]> 2020-11-19 17:06:41 UTC https://padlet.com/hector_lucio/9dkfgih0kifh/wish/942340866 Hector_Lucio https://padlet.com/hector_lucio/9dkfgih0kifh/wish/942343281 One way that synthetic materials affect society is that synthetic materials can make certain things more accessible in terms of money than natural materials can in certain cases. For example, Vitamin C tablets are made of synthetic Vitamin C and are made available at low costs. Additionally, lab grown diamonds are more accessible than natural diamonds because they can be 20-40% cheaper. ]]> 2020-11-19 17:07:06 UTC https://padlet.com/hector_lucio/9dkfgih0kifh/wish/942343281 Hector_Lucio https://padlet.com/hector_lucio/9dkfgih0kifh/wish/946646580 2020-11-20 18:53:18 UTC https://padlet.com/hector_lucio/9dkfgih0kifh/wish/946646580 Hector_Lucio https://padlet.com/hector_lucio/9dkfgih0kifh/wish/946660972 2020-11-20 18:56:37 UTC https://padlet.com/hector_lucio/9dkfgih0kifh/wish/946660972 Hector_Lucio https://padlet.com/hector_lucio/9dkfgih0kifh/wish/946682991 2020-11-20 19:01:27 UTC https://padlet.com/hector_lucio/9dkfgih0kifh/wish/946682991 Hector_Lucio https://padlet.com/hector_lucio/9dkfgih0kifh/wish/946693048 2020-11-20 19:03:42 UTC https://padlet.com/hector_lucio/9dkfgih0kifh/wish/946693048
