Nonrenewable Resources List the fossil fuels in the pictures. Are they renewable or non renewable? A C B

Formation of Fossil Fuels 2:26 As you watch, look for answers to these questions: 1.How do fossil fuels form? 2.Why are they nonrenewable? 3.What is one problem with using them?

Fossil fuels burn easily and produce a lot of heat. Open your textbook to page A 150. Read about how fossil fuels form and transfer energy.

Let’s Practice

On a sheet of paper draw the following chart. Take the Chart paper divide it into nine sections SourceTransformedMakesDisadvantage

Energy Packets Each group will be given a packet. Pull out the slips from the envelope. Work together as a group to organize slips into numerical order based on the picture. When you are finished, raise your hand so that your teacher can come and check your work. New Packet – repeat the instructions above.

Coal Power Plant Directions: Pull out the slips of paper from the file. Work with your group to find what each number is. Use page 150A – 152 A 1.Coal – Carbon based substance formed over time from fossilized plants. This is the input to the system. 2.Stack – A tower that emits exhaust from the combustion process. 3.Boiler – This device heats water to produce steam. 4.Steam - Produced when water is boiled. It is the vapor phase of water. 5.Turbine – Spinning blades in this device are turned by steam and spins the generator. 6.Generator – This part is turned by the turbine, generating electromagnetic energy. 7.Electricity – This is the final output of the system. It can also be described as electrons in motion.
