6. #3.17 Aim: Review conventio nal alternativ e energy Agenda QOD (5) Lesson: HW review (15) Activity: posters (15) Summary (5) HW: study! How does hydropower make energy? A – Water flows from the reservoir through the dam B – The flowing water turns the turbine

7. #3.17 Aim: Review conventio nal alternativ e energy Agenda QOD (5) Lesson: HW review (15) Activity: posters (15) Summary (5) HW: study! How does hydropower make energy? C – The turbine turns the rotor (which consists of magnets) D – Electricity is produced!

8. #3.17 Aim: Review conventio nal alternativ e energy Agenda QOD (5) Lesson: HW review (15) Activity: posters (15) Summary (5) HW: study! Pros 1. Dams generate clean power –Hydropower is renewable and doesn’t emit greenhouse gases or other air pollutants What kinds of energy do you think were used to build this dam?

9. #3.17 Aim: Review conventio nal alternativ e energy Agenda QOD (5) Lesson: HW review (15) Activity: posters (15) Summary (5) HW: study! Pros, cont 2. Dams help people –they prevent flooding and provide cheap electricity, irrigation, and drinking water

10. #3.17 Aim: Review conventio nal alternativ e energy Agenda QOD (5) Lesson: HW review (15) Activity: posters (15) Summary (5) HW: study! Cons 1.Dams change river habitat upstream: flooding downstream: not enough water

11. #3.17 Aim: Review conventio nal alternativ e energy Agenda QOD (5) Lesson: HW review (15) Activity: posters (15) Summary (5) HW: study! Cons, Cont 2. Disrupt natural flooding cycles - river floodplains don’t receive nutrients from sediments (which are trapped behind dams)

12. #3.17 Aim: Review conventio nal alternativ e energy Agenda QOD (5) Lesson: HW review (15) Activity: posters (15) Summary (5) HW: study! Cons, Cont 3. Temperature of the water is changed  aquatic populations go extinct

13. #3.17 Aim: Review conventio nal alternativ e energy Agenda QOD (5) Lesson: HW review (15) Activity: posters (15) Summary (5) HW: study! Cons, Cont 4. Dams prevent anadromous fish from laying their eggs.  Fish ladder   No fish ladder!

14. #3.17 Aim: Review conventio nal alternativ e energy Agenda QOD (5) Lesson: HW review (15) Activity: posters (15) Summary (5) HW: study! Biomass = plant or animal matter People harness energy by burning biomass. How many people do you think use biomass as their main source of energy?

15. #3.17 Aim: Review conventio nal alternativ e energy Agenda QOD (5) Lesson: HW review (15) Activity: posters (15) Summary (5) HW: study! Biomass quickfacts first energy source used by humans. Over 1 billion people use wood as their main energy source. It can be burned for heat, electricity, or made into liquid fuel

16. #3.17 Aim: Review conventio nal alternativ e energy Agenda QOD (5) Lesson: HW review (15) Activity: posters (15) Summary (5) HW: study! Pro’s 1. Carbon-neutral (releases as much carbon as the plants took as they grew). 2. Reduces other greenhouse gas emissions – (landfill gas, methane) 3. Economic benefits – can be produced all over the country 4. Sustainable – recycles wastes 5. Human health – no air pollution

17. #3.17 Aim: Review conventio nal alternativ e energy Agenda QOD (5) Lesson: HW review (15) Activity: posters (15) Summary (5) HW: study! Con’s 1. Health hazards – indoor air pollution from fires 2. Deforestation 3. Monoculture agriculture – growing just one crop reduces biodiversity 4. Biofuels require energy 5. Inefficient
