5 Graphic Organizer Use this graphic organizer to organize and write down information as you study. 7.1 Energy Basics
6
6 Get Started! What kinds of energy do you use throughout your day? 7.1 Energy Basics
7
7 Understanding Energy Coal is one example of a source of energy. Technology is needed to find and release coal’s energy. energy the capacity or ability to do work 7.1 Energy Basics
8
8 Forms of Energy There are many types of energy in nature. They are: 7.1 Energy Basics Mechanical energy, or energy in motion Thermal, or heat, energy Electrical energy Chemical energy Nuclear energy Light, or radiant, energy
9
9 Forms of Energy Energy cannot be created or destroyed, but it can be changed from one form to another. For example, coal can become thermal or electrical energy. 7.1 Energy Basics
10
10 Forms of Energy 7.1 Energy Basics
11
11 Energy Resources Energy sources are divided into three groups: 7.1 Energy Basics Renewable NonrenewableUnlimited
12
12 Renewable Sources Renewable sources come from plants and animals. Food and alcohol can renew or replace those sources if needed. Food energy is measured in calories. calorie the measure of energy in food 7.1 Energy Basics
13
13 Nonrenewable Sources Nonrenewable sources cannot be replaced once they are gone. Examples of nonrenewable sources are fossil fuels. fossil fuel fuel produced from the fossils of long-dead plants and animals 7.1 Energy Basics
14
14 Nonrenewable Sources Kinds of fossil fuels include: 7.1 Energy Basics CoalOil Natural gas Uranium
15
15 Unlimited Sources There are several types of energy sources that will not run out: Solar energy (solar heating systems and solar cells) solar cell a device that converts sunlight into electrical energy 7.1 Energy Basics solar heating system a system in which energy from the sun is used to heat a building
16
16 Unlimited Sources There are several types of energy sources that will not run out: Wind (wind farms) 7.1 Energy Basics wind farm a large collection of windmills located in an area that has fairly constant winds
17
17 Unlimited Sources There are several types of energy sources that will not run out: Flowing water (hydroelectric power) 7.1 Energy Basics hydroelectric power electricity generated by turbines that are propelled by flowing water
18
18 Unlimited Sources There are several types of energy sources that will not run out: Geothermal energy (geothermal energy) 7.1 Energy Basics geothermal energy heat energy produced under the earth’s crust
19
19 Unlimited Sources Harnessing an unlimited resource, like water power, can mean long-term solutions for energy conservation. 7.1 Energy Basics

21 7.2 Converting Energy to Power Objectives Identify the most common forms of power. Describe uses for each form of power. Content Vocabulary power horsepower pneumatic power hydraulic power load efficiency
22
22 Graphic Organizer Use this graphic organizer to organize and write down information as you study. 7.2 Converting Energy to Power
23
23 Get Started! What is the difference between power and energy? 7.2 Converting Energy to Power
24
24 Power and Work Power and energy are not the same things. Horsepower is a common measure of power. power a measure of work done over a certain period of time when energy is converted from one form to another or transferred from one place to another 7.2 Converting Energy to Power horsepower a measurement of power based on lifting; pounds one foot in one second
25
25 Forms of Power There are three forms of power: 7.2 Converting Energy to Power MechanicalElectricalFluid
26
26 Fluid Power When gas or fluids are put under pressure, they can control and transmit fluid power. 7.2 Converting Energy to Power
27
27 Fluid Power Pneumatic power and hydraulic power are two examples of fluid power. 7.2 Converting Energy to Power pneumatic power fluid power produced by putting a gas under pressure hydraulic power fluid power produced by putting a liquid under pressure
28
28 Power Systems Power systems drive and provide propulsion (motion or force) for other technological products and systems. Power systems must have a source of energy, a process, or a load. 7.2 Converting Energy to Power load the output force
29
29 Selecting Energy and Power Technologies Each day you decide what kind of energy and power technologies to use. It is important to consider efficiency when choosing energy-filled options. 7.2 Converting Energy to Power efficiency the ability to achieve a desired result with little effort and waste
30
30 Objectives Identify forms of pollution resulting from energy and power technologies. Describe methods to slow depletion of energy resources. Content Vocabulary acid rain greenhouse effect energy conservation recycle 7.3 Impacts of Energy and Power Technologies
31
31 Graphic Organizer Use this graphic organizer to organize and write down information as you study. 7.3 Impacts of Energy and Power Technologies
32
32 Get Started! What are some causes of pollution? 7.3 Impacts of Energy and Power Technologies
33
33 The Effects of Using Energy Using too much energy has created serious problems, such as: 7.3 Impacts of Energy and Power Technologies Pollution Waste Heat Nuclear Waste Depletion of Resources
34
34 Pollution Pollution can contaminant the environment and our bodies. Acid rain is an example of a pollutant that falls to the earth. acid rain a weak sulfuric acid created when sulfur dioxide in the air mixes with rain and oxygen 7.3 Impacts of Energy and Power Technologies
35
35 Fossil Fuels The burning of fossil fuels produces many pollutants, such as: greenhouse effect increase in the temperature of the earth’s atmosphere caused by a rise in carbon dioxide 7.3 Impacts of Energy and Power Technologies Acid rain Carbon monoxide Greenhouse effect
36
36 The Greenhouse Effect Acid rain and the pollutants discharged from an industrial society contaminate and project heat into the earth’s atmosphere. “Global warming” is an effect of too much heat produced. 7.3 Impacts of Energy and Power Technologies
37
37 7.3 Impacts of Energy and Power Technologies The Greenhouse Effect
38
38 Waste Heat Heat produced by power plants enters bodies of water, which in turn can harm plants and animals. 7.3 Impacts of Energy and Power Technologies
39
39 Nuclear Waste Nuclear waste, or radioactive waste, is a solid left over after nuclear fuel is used up. 7.3 Impacts of Energy and Power Technologies
40
40 Depletion of Resources Earth has a limited supply of energy sources. In order to keep them around longer, we need to use energy conservation. energy conservation the management and efficient use of energy sources 7.3 Impacts of Energy and Power Technologies
41
41 Depletion of Resources One way to conserve is to recycle materials and products. recycle to reuse 7.3 Impacts of Energy and Power Technologies
