On page 12-13 create a table with the following column headings
Column 1: Source Column 2: P/K Column 3: Description Column 4: Uses Column 5: Re/New Column 6: Ways we turn source into NRG we can use Column 7: Pros/Cons
3
Notes on NRG Sources Source P/K Description Uses R/N
Ways we turn source into NRG we can use Pros and Cons 1. 2. 3. 4. 5. 6. 7. 8. 8a. 8b.. 8c..
4
Biomass…photosynthesis
Matter that was once alive
5
Biomass Burning wood for heat Corn ethanol for fuel
Generating electricity
6
Wind Air particles in motion
Caused by uneven heating of earth’s surface. Convection winds.
7
Wind- motion to electricity
8
Hydropower Force of moving water created by the water cycle
9
Hydropower Gravitational …..to electricity
10
Solar Radiant energy from the sun
Photo voltaic cells convert to electricity Solar space heating houses
11
Solar
13
Geothermal Heat from core of earth the earth Radioactive decay
14
Geothermal Thermal NRG…. to electricity
16
Nuclear (Uranium) NRG in the nucleus of an uranium atom.
Nucleus splits apart, creating heat.
17
Uranium (Nuclear) Nuclear to ….electricity
18
Hydrogen Used in batteries to produce electricity or burned as fuel
Get it from water, biomass or natural gas
19
Hydrogen

Fossil Fuels A million years ago, plants and/or animals fell into swampy water or ocean bottoms. They were covered by layers of sedimentary rock. Due to heat and pressure they underwent chemical and physical changes. They became new substances, the fossil fuels. We burn them to release energy.
21
Petroleum..crude oil Chemical to…motion
22
Coal..remains of plants Chemical to …electricity!!!
23
Natural Gas-methane chemical to…heat
24
Propane- chemical to heat or fuel
