2. Agenda NOTES- Renewable Energy Sources Bubble map and stations What is happening in Duplin County? Exit Ticket

3. Renewable Resources I can compare ways humans get energy sources. I can explain sustainability.

4. ENERGY SOURCES

5. SUSTAINABILITY The quality of not being harmful to the environment or depleting natural resources, and thereby supporting long-term ecological balance Supporting and upholding life with MINIMAL long- term effect on the environment

6. SUSTAINABILITY today March 26, 2015 Agricultural waste could be used as biofuel – Straw-powered cars could be a thing of the future thanks to new research. A new study pinpoints five strains of yeast capable of turning agricultural by-products, such as straw, sawdust and corncobs, into bioethanol -- a well-known alcohol-based biofuel.

8. Think… Why do we need to find alternative and sustainable sources of energy? Fossil fuels (nonrenewable) supply 90% of our world’s energy. At the present rate of consumption, the amount of fossil fuels available may last only another 170 years!!!

9. Problem Population increases  – consumption increases  pollution increases! How do we deal with this problem?

10. Alternative Energy Find safer, RENEWABLE energy Sustainable – will not run out – has very little negative effect on the environment

11. Renewable Energy Bubble Map

12.  Set up the bubble map/cut it out and glue it into your notebook (color later) 20 minutes  In groups of 3-4 students move through stations to collect the positives and negatives to renewable energy 3 minutes per station
