ENERGY By: Kaitlyn Nuclear Power Hydro Power Wind Power Solar Power Biomass Geothermal

HYDROPOWER Hydropower [water power] Renewable It goes through a dam and turns turbines to make energy. Dams cause animal habitat floods. 3.3% is used throughout the U.S.

SOLAR ENERGY Solar power comes from the suns heat. We use solar panels that take the suns heat and turns into electricity. .1% of US electricity comes from solar power. Takes away the suns heat. Is renewable. Is a lot of money

GEOTHERMAL Geothermal comes from inside the earth. Costs a lot of money to drill. The heat from below ground makes steam that turns turbines. ___% of geothermal is used in US. It is not radio active.

WIND POWER It comes from the uneven heating of the earth. It is turned into electricity by a turbine. ___% of wind is used in US. Wind is renewable. Disturbs wild life. Is a lot of noise.

NUCIEAR Energy inside an atom. The atom splits and makes electricity. ___% is used in US.

BIOMASS Made out of natural waste. It is burned to create electricity. 4% of us energy comes biomass. Very few refineries Renewable

FOSSIL FULES It comes from dead plants and animals that died millions of years ago. It is changed into electricity in a refinery. 81% of us electricity comes from fossil fuels. It is nonrenewable and takes millions of years to form. We have a lot of it.

ENERGY TRANSFORMATION Many natural sources can be turned into electricity. We did two experiments about wind and solar power. We turned them into electricity.

EXPERIMENT 1

EXPERIMENT 2

CONCLUSIONS I learned that natural resources can be turned into electricity. I learned that some resources can be dangerous.
