4. Partner Activity Nonrenewable vs. Renewable
Students will partner up and discuss the meaning of each category and then attempt to group the energy forms into the correct category type.
Nonrenewable-Cannot be replaced by natural processes as quickly as they are used-Fossil Fuels
Renewable-Replaced nearly as quick as it is used-Wind, Solar, Hydroelectric, Tidal, Geothermal, Biomass

5. Fossil Fuels Fossil Fuel Coal, Petroleum, and Natural Gas
Formed from Dead plants and animals
Fuel formed hundreds of millions of years ago through geological processes
Coal, Petroleum, and Natural Gas
Contain energy originally from the sun
Nonrenewable Energy Source

6. Use of fossil fuels Fossil fuels are burned to release chemical energy
Combustion
Process of burning a fuel
Chemical Energy is converted into various forms

7. Sources of Electricity In US

8. Nuclear Energy stored within the nucleus of an atom
Released during nuclear reactions
Nuclear fission
Nuclear fusion

9. Renewable Resources

10. Renewable Resource Energy source replaced as quickly as it is used
