1. Homeroom Warm Up
On November 19, 1997, the McCaughey septuplets were born. This was the first time that all seven septuplets survived. What do you think it would be like to be one of seven brothers/ sisters that are all the same age? Would there be advantages or disadvantages?

2. Science Warm Up
The Atlantic Ocean is currently growing wider as its floor enlarges due to the process of sea-floor spreading. In sea-floor spreading, pieces of oceanic crust A. move sideways against each other along a transform plate boundary. B. move apart along a divergent plate boundary. C. move down in a subduction zone. D. move together along a convergent plate boundary.

3. NONRENEWABLE AND RENEWABLE RESOURCES

4. Natural Resources
Natural resources are things that are found in nature that are useful to people.

5. Natural Resources
Natural resources can be made into things we use.

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

7. NONRENEWABLE RESOURCES
A nonrenewable resource is a natural resource that cannot be re-made or re-grown at a scale comparable to its consumption.

8. 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!

9. 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.

10. HOW IS COAL MADE ???

11. HOW ARE OIL AND GAS MADE ???

12. WHAT WAS THE DIFFERENCE BETWEEN COAL AND OIL/GAS?

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

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

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

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

17. Why is energy from the wind renewable?

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

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

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

21. Science Closure
The following is an example of a renewable source of energy:
A. coal
B. nuclear energy
