1. ENERGY and RESOURCES

2. What is energy?
Energy is in everything. Energy is what helps us to do everything from riding a bike or baking cookies to brushing our teeth at night.
Energy can be stored (potential) or it can be working (kinetic)
There are many forms of energy, and energy is changed between those forms to help us in different ways.

3. Types of Energy MRSCHEN Just remember MRS CHEN . . . Mechanical
Radiant (light)
Sound
Chemical (batteries, food)
Heat
Electrical
Nuclear
MRSCHEN
And a few others. . .
Elastic
Magnetic

4. Converting Energy
Most energy is converted, or changed, from one form into another.
Here are some examples of energy conversions:
Usage
Original
Form
Converted
Explanation
Lamp
Electric
Energy
Radiant
Electricity turns into radiant (light) energy when the filament in a light bulb lights up.

5. Explanation Usage Original Form Converted Solar-powered Calculator
Radiant
Energy
Electrical
Sunlight hits a solar cell and converts the energy into electrical, powering a calculator
Electric Motor (fan)
Mechanical
When plugged in to the wall, the electrical energy powers the motor, making it spin (mechanical)

6. NONRENEWABLE AND RENEWABLE RESOURCES

7. NONRENEWABLE RESOURCES
A nonrenewable resource is a natural resource that cannot be re-made or re-grown at a scale comparable to its consumption.

8. Nuclear fission uses uranium to create energy.
NUCLEAR ENERGY
Nuclear fission uses uranium to create energy.
Nuclear energy is a nonrenewable resource because once the uranium is used, it is gone!

9. COAL, PETROLEUM, AND GAS
Coal, petroleum, and natural gas are considered nonrenewable because they can not be replenished in a short period of time. These are called fossil fuels.

10. HOW IS COAL MADE ???

11. Summarize . . .

12. HOW ARE OIL AND GAS MADE ???

13. Summarize . . .

14. WHAT WAS THE DIFFERENCE BETWEEN COAL AND OIL/GAS?

15. Similarities:
Differences:

16. RENEWABLE RESOURCES
Renewable resources are natural resources that can be replenished in a short period of time.
● Solar ● Geothermal
● Wind ● Biomass
● Water

17. SOLAR Energy from the sun as solar radiation.
Why is energy from the sun renewable?

18. Energy from Earth’s heat.
GEOTHERMAL
Energy from Earth’s heat.
Source of heat is 20% from the formation of the planet and 80% from the radioactive decay of minerals.

19. Huge wind turbines move and create mechanical energy.
Energy from the wind.
Huge wind turbines move and create mechanical energy.

20. Energy from burning organic or living matter.
BIOMASS
Energy from burning organic or living matter.
Wood
Corn
Garbage
Waste

21. WATER or HYDROELECTRIC
Energy from the flow of water.
Water turns huge turbines and create electricity.
