NONRENEWABLE AND RENEWABLE RESOURCES

What do you think nonrenewable resources are? HMMMM.... What do you think nonrenewable resources are? Break it down... Nonrenewable? Resource?

NONRENEWABLE RESOURCES A nonrenewable resource is a natural resource that cannot be re-made or re-grown at a rate faster than its consumption.

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!

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.

HOW IS COAL MADE ???

HOW ARE OIL AND GAS MADE ???

WHAT WAS THE DIFFERENCE BETWEEN COAL AND OIL/GAS?

HMMMM.... If nonrenewable resources are resources that cannot be re-made at a scale comparable to its consumption, what are renewable resources?

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

Why is energy from the sun renewable? SOLAR Energy from the sun. Why is energy from the sun renewable?

GEOTHERMAL Energy from Earth’s heat. Why is energy from the heat of the Earth renewable?

Why is energy from the wind renewable?

BIOMASS Energy from burning organic or living matter. Why is energy from biomass renewable?

WATER or HYDROELECTRIC Energy from the flow of water. Why is energy of flowing water renewable?

What are the differences between nonrenewable and renewable resources? SUMMARY What are the differences between nonrenewable and renewable resources?

Argumentative Essay You are the mayor of a large city with an increasing population. Your city currently depends mostly on nonrenewable resources. An increasing population means more cars on your roads, more plastic used, and more fuel to heat and cool homes Create a plan to conserve energy resources in your city. In your written plan, be sure to include your cities goals and specific, detailed steps that your city must take in order to conserve energy and extend the use of nonrenewables for future generations. ARGUMENTATIVE ESSAY OUTLINE: Introduction: Identify the problem, and explain why it is a problem. 3-5 sentences. Body: Explain your solution and include specific components and details that fix the problem. Include and example from the bean lab. 8-10 sentences. Conclusion: Restate the problem and WHY/HOW your solution solves it. Include an emotional appeal. 3-5 sentences.

Greatest Inventions with Bill Nye: Energy Greatest Inventions-Energy Nothing happens without energy. It powers every machine on Earth and is essential for virtually every activity. Civilization would be impossible without it. In the program, Bill Nye leads us on an electrifying journey to the sources of energy and the technology that enables us to tap into it and distribute it around the world. Topics covered include fossil fuels, internal combustion engines, nuclear power, and alternative energy sources like solar, wind, and hydroelectric power.

Greatest Inventions with Bill Nye: Energy After viewing the program students will be able to: · Understand the history of energy use; · Understand the law of conservation of energy; · Understand the properties of matter; · Understand how chemical reactions release energy; · Understand the relationship between science and technology.

Energy Activity What would your world be like without electricity, buses, cars, or heat? Can you imagine your life without energy? As an experiment, go through the school day, making a list of all the forms of energy you, your friends, and teachers use, then compare notes. As a follow-up to the connection above, think about Katy’s experiment to investigate solar power for a home. Review your list and determine what you can either delete or modify in order to conserve energy. Make a record of your progress without each item.

Energy Activity There is a fear that we will eventually deplete our energy sources of coal and oil. Also, these particular resources pollute the environment by creating green house gases. As a matter of fact, we ourselves cause a big part of the pollution because of the cars we drive. Cars burn gasoline and release fumes, thereby releasing greenhouse gases into the atmosphere. For this reason, the automobile industry has been developing ways to use less gas and to be more efficient. They have developed hybrid cars and some electric cars. Research a few vehicles that are better for the environment. Pick which one you feel is the best and create an ad that would entice people to buy it. Have students present their ads to the class and see which car is voted best for the environment.

Today, you will research what your energy source has the BEST to offer. use the following questions as guidelines while researching. Identify 10+ Pros and Cons of using your energy. List hazards and benefits of using your energy. How long will the energy supply last at current use rates? Need to explain HOW your energy works and how it is obtained. Find statistics and safety concerns with using your energy Any interesting facts like environmental impact. By products or other uses for your energy source.

CREATE: 6-10 Slide PPT ONE person in group create a google slide, share it with Mitchell.greenberg@cms.k12.nc.us and your group members. Assign specific parts of research to each group member, who can work on their own slides.
