1. Renewable and Non-renewable Resources *Directions: Record the Percentage Used by the Appropriate Energy Source on your Table. This has been done for you in the box labeled “coal.”

2. Nonrenewable Energy Nonrenewable energy sources come out of the ground as liquids, gases, and solids. Crude oil (petroleum) is the only commercial nonrenewable fuel that is naturally in liquid form. Natural gas and propane are normally gases, and coal is a solid. Fossil Fuels Are Nonrenewable, but Not All Nonrenewable Energy Sources Are Fossil Fuels Coal, petroleum, natural gas, and propane are all considered fossil fuels because they were formed from the buried remains of plants and animals that lived millions of years ago. Uranium ore, a solid, is mined and converted to a fuel used at nuclear power plants. Uranium is not a fossil fuel, but is a nonrenewable fuel.

3. Coal Coal Takes Millions of Years To Create Coal is a combustible black or brownish-black sedimentary rock composed mostly of carbon and hydrocarbons. It is the most abundant fossil fuel produced in the United States. If coal is close to the surface, miners are able to dig the coal up. If the coal is deep down, underground mines need to be formed. How do we use coal? In the United States burning coal is the biggest single primary source of energy for generating electricity. electricity.

4. Petroleum Petroleum is a brownish liquid Oil formed from the remains of animals and plants (diatoms) that lived millions of years ago in a marine (water) environment before the dinosaurs. Over millions of years, the remains of these animals and plants were covered by layers of sand and silt. Heat and pressure from these layers helped the remains turn into what we today call crude oil. The word "petroleum" means "rock oil" or "oil from the earth. Drilling How do we get Petroleum? Deep holes are drilled and pipes are put into the ground. The pressure underground helps the oil come up. The oil is pumped through groups to where it is needed. What is petroleum in? ink, crayons, bubble gum, dishwasher soap, motor gasoline, diesel, and propane.

5. Natural Gas Natural Gas is an invisible, odorless gas. (The gas companies adds the stinky odor so that people can tell when gas is leaking) Like coal, natural gas is made from ancient plants and animals. It is the cleanest burning-fuel. Machines called digesters can take plant matter and change it into natural gas. How do we get the natural gas from the earth? Mo st of the natural gas is found deep in the ground trapped in gas-soaked rocks. Natural gas is drilled for and the gas is sent through pipes to areas in need. What do we use natural gas for?

6. Nuclear Power What is nuclear power? Almost everything is made out of extremely tiny bits of matter called atoms. Atoms are too small to see. The very center of the atom is called the nucleus. When a big nucleus breaks up, al lot of energy is given off making a lot of heat. The breaking up of the nucleus is called fission. The fission of the uranium heat makes water in the steam generator boil, and the steam is sent to a steam turbine that turns an electrical generator.

7. Renewable Energy Renewable energy can be replaced over a short period of time. -biomass -water -geothermal -wind -solar

8. Solar PowerSolar Power: How can we use sunlight to make electricity? Sunshine falling on a photovoltaic cell makes a little bit of electricity. If your wire many of them together you can increase the amount of electricity you get. What if there is no sun? Since there is no sun at night you can purchase a battery that can store electricity.

9. Wind Power How can we use wind to make electricity? The wind blows directly onto the blade of the turbine, much like wind turns a pinwheel. The turbine turns the generator to make electricity.

10. Hydropower What is hydropower? Falling water can be very forceful. River water can fall over waterfalls and be used to make electricity. Fun fact:One of the earliest generating stations was built in 1896 at the bottom of Niagara Falls.

11. Biomass Biomass is organic material made from plants and animals. Biomass contains stored energy from the sun. Plants absorb the sun's energy in a process called photosynthesis. The chemical energy in plants gets passed on to animals and people that eat them. Burning biomass Today, we can burn garbage in special waste-to-energy plants and use its heat energy to make steam to heat buildings or to generate electricity. There are about 90 waste-to- energy plants in the United States. These plants generate enough electricity to supply almost 3 million households. Animation

12. Geothermal What is geothermal energy? In some places the Earth's heat can make steam for example near volcanos or near moving earth plates. Sometimes the steam can be taken directly from the earth. Geothermal PlantGeothermal Plant

14. Go to Google classroom. Login: username@st.cabarrus.k12.nc.ususername@st.cabarrus.k12.nc.us Password: Lunch # (or something else if you changed it. Might be your initials and six digit birthday?) Open the assignment titled “Energy Check.” It will have a black box around it. At the top in the middle of the page, click on the arrow next to the word that says “open” and click on “google drive.” This will open the page with a white box around it. The document is now edit-able.

15. Self Check #1- COMPLETE THIS IN GOOGLE CLASSROOM. Match the Energy resource definitions with the pictures. Press the Esc button to move the pictures and/or descriptions. Return to Slideshow mode when finished.

16. COMPLETE THIS IN GOOGLE CLASSROOM Self Check Part B: Find the assignment titled “Energy Check” and answer Part B. 1.)What are the 4 types of non renewable resources? 2.) Which one is the cleanest?

17. Ecological Footprint Go to the website below and take the “quiz” to discover your Ecological Footprint.

18. Saving Energy/Conservation COMPLETE THIS IN GOOGLE CLASSROOM. 1.Have you ever heard of Reduce, Reuse, Recycle?Have you ever heard of Reduce, Reuse, Recycle? 2. What do you think that means (reduce, reuse, recycle)? 3. What are some simple ways you can help conserve energy? Once you are finished, submit it through Google Classroom.

19. In your home, you can save energy by turning off appliances, TVs and radios that are not being used, watched or listened to. You can turn off lights when no one is in the room. By putting insulation in walls and attics, we can reduce the amount of energy it takes to heat or cool our homes. -Insulating a home is like putting on a sweater or jacket when we're cold... instead of turning up the heat. The outer layers trap the heat inside, keeping it nice and warm. -New space-age materials are being developed that insulate even better.
