3. RENEWABLE SOURCES OF ENERGY They can be replenished naturally in a short period of time. SUNLIGHT WIND WATER BIOMASS.jpg

4. NON- RENEWABLE SOURCES OF ENERGY They cannot be replenished naturally in a short period of time. FOSSIL FUELS URANIUM

5. TYPES OF ENERGY Types of energy ELECTRICAL ENERGY Produced by the flow of electirc charge. Washing machines, and computers CHEMICAL ENERGY Produced by fossil fuels and biomass. In our bodies, the food we eat MECHANICAL ENERGY Produced by things with motion. Like the wind, or the water THERMAL ENERGY Energy released at heat. A stove, or a heater NUCLEAR ENERGY Energy found in elements Such as uranium and plutonium LIGHT ENERGY Energy found in light Like the energy from the sun

6. ENERGY CONVERSION ONE TYPE OF ENERGY CAN BE CONVERTED INTO ANOTHER TYPE OF ENERGY. ELECTRICAL ENERGY MECHANICAL ENERGY NUCLEAR ENERGY ELECTIRCAL ENERGY
