 A SOURCE OF ENERGY is where humans get energy from Example: solar energy, wind energy, oil, etc

 A renewable source is an energy source that will ALWAYS be used. It will never run out Example: solar energy is renewable because the sun will always be in the sky! Wind energy is renewable because there will always be wind!

 A non-renewable source is a source that will NOT always be used. It will run out some day. Example: oil is a non-renewable source because it is made from plants/animals that died millions of years ago. So when humans use all the oil, there will be no more!

 A fossil fuel is: oil, natural gas, coal  Fossil fuels come from plants and animals that died MILLIONS of years ago. Humans get these fuels under the Earth. Fossil fuels

 Sun  solar panals  electricity

 Wind  turns turbines  creates electricity

 Get energy from burning plants Burn plants  heat water  water vapor turns turbines  electricity

 Take heat energy from under the Earth to make energy

 Water goes through turbines. The turbines turn. Electric energy is produced

 These fossil fuels are burned to heat water. The water vapor turns turbines and makes electric energy

 Divide uranium particles to make heat  the heat makes water boil  water vapor turns turbines  electricity is made
