5. Energy Conservation Human population is growing beyond the amount of resources that we have on the planet Human population is growing beyond the amount of resources that we have on the planet Law of Conservation of Energy: energy can not be created or destroyed Law of Conservation of Energy: energy can not be created or destroyed There are 3 types: Chemical, kinetic and potential There are 3 types: Chemical, kinetic and potential What does this mean? Energy can be: What does this mean? Energy can be: Changed from one form to the other Changed from one form to the other Transferred Transferred

6. Renewable vs Non Renewable Resources Renewable Can be replaced as quickly as they are used So abundant that running out is impossible Examples: solar, water, wind, biomass and geothermal energy (like rocks) Non-renewable Used faster than they can be replaced Examples: fossil fuels (coal, oil and natural gas)
