3. 1.What is Solar Energy? (06:36)

4. ENERGY FROM THE SUN Every human, plant, and animal depends on water for survival. It's controlled by the sun, which produces energy in the form of heat. This heat energy causes the water in the world's oceans, lakes, and even puddles in your backyard to warm and evaporate. The Water Cycle is powered by the Sun.

5. What are the major disadvantages of solar energy? The amount of sunlight that arrives at the earth's surface is not constant. It depends on location, time of day, time of year, and weather conditions. Because the sun doesn't deliver that much energy to any one place at any one time, a large surface area is required to collect the energy at a useful rate.

6. We use many different energy sources to do work for us. Energy sources are classified into two groups— renewable and nonrenewable.

7. Sources of Energy wind geothermal water biomass sun coal oil nuclear Natural gas

8. 2. Identify the different renewable sources of energy

9. 3. Identify the different non - renewable sources of energy

10. 4.What are fossil fuels?

11. 6. What is Nuclear power?

12. Nuclear fusion -uses HYDROGEN as fuel. -powers the stars. Nuclear fission -uses URANIUM as fuel. -powers nuclear power plants. Harnessing the power of atoms.

13. 7. What is hydroelectric power?

14. power comes from the potential and kinetic energy of dammed water driving a water turbine and generator. P.E. K.E.

15. 8. What is the relationship between fossil fuel and global warming?

16. 9. What are the alternatives for fossil fuels?

17. Graph the U.S. Energy Consumption by Source

18. 10. How are we affected by the use of fossil fuel?

19. 11. How can we help slow down global warming?

20. 12. What is tidal energy?

21. generates electricity by capturing the energy contained in moving water caused by high tides and low tides.

22. RenewableNon-Renewable

23. Renewable Energy includes biomass, hydropower, geothermal, wind, solar and others. Non-Renewable energy includes petroleum, natural gas, coal, uranium, and propane. Alternative energy sources include all renewable energy and uranium

24. Graph the U.S. Energy Consumption by Source  Biomass - 2.9%  Hydropower – 2.7%  Geothermal – 0.3%  Wind – 0.1%  Solar and other – 0.1% Petroleum – 38.1% Natural gas – 22.9% Coal – 23.2% Uranium – 8.1% Propane – 1.7%
