Review: SOURCES of ENERGY
RENEWABLECan be replenished or replaced Can be replenished or replaced

Trees/Plants (Biomass)Heating, Electricity, Food,Transportation
Water(Hydroelectric)Droughtsmay causeunavailability
Oxygen & HydrogenTransportation (Fuel Cells)
is transformed into
Electrical Energy(as electrons are produced)
Chemical EnergyStored in the battery
is transformed into
Light Energy(Radiant)
Knowthis well!
Oil (petroleum), natural gas, coal are examples of nonrenewable resources.
There is a LIMITED SUPPLY and it takes There is a LIMITED SUPPLY and it takes millions of years to replenish or replace –millions of years to replenish or replace –too long to be useful to ustoo long to be useful to us
Another name for them is…..fossil fuels
Renewable, Nonrenewable, or Inexhaustible?
Renewable
Source of Energy:
Biomass Energy from Trees/Plants
transforms
In science, we don’t just say that energychanges from one form to another,
we say that it…
or
converts
The transfer of thermal energy through direct contact between particles of matter. (Examples: Heating a pot on the stove or a metal spoon placed in a cup of hot chocolate)
ELECTROMAGNET

Some advantages and disadvantages of wind energy.• Wind is free and will not run out so the cost is in building the wind turbine.
• Wind power generation does not create greenhouse gases
• There are very few safety risks with wind turbines. (EXCEPT TO BIRDS!)
• We can only use wind turbines in areas where there is a lot of wind. Sometimes there may be days where there is little wind. Just like we cannot use solar panels without the Sun, we cannot produce electricity from little or no wind..
Solar energy is Inexhaustible since it uses the sun. Must have the Sun to work.

Nonrenewable Resources
• Cannot be replaced in a short amount of time.
• Made from dead plants and animals millions of years ago.
• Once we use them up, they are gone forever.
• We are using them faster than nature can
replace them.
We will run out of fossil fuels sooner
or later!!
Renewable Resources• Things that can be
replaced in a relatively short amount of time. We must be wise about how we use these items! We could overuse, pollute, or destroy them too fast for them to be replaced.
EXAMPLES:
Trees, plants, animals, water
Heat is transferred by the movement of currents within a liquid or gas. Heat rises, cools and drops then heats up again and rises again.
The transfer of energy (heat) by electromagnetic waves. It does not require matter to transfer its heat.
VOCABULARY WORDS FOR DCA # 6
1. DEPLETED - no longer sufficient; "supplies are low"; "our funds are depleted"
2. ELECTROMAGNET - A device consisting of a coil of insulated wire wrapped around an iron core that becomes magnetized when an electric current flows through the wire.
3. DISADVANTAGE - An unfavorable condition or circumstance. To put at a disadvantage; hinder or harm (hazardous).
4. CONVECTION – The transfer of heat by movement of currents.5. CONDUCTION – The transfer of heat through direct physical contact.6. RADIATION – The direct transfer of energy by electromagnetic waves.7. HAZARDOUS - involving or causing danger or risk; liable to hurt or harm.8. INFERENCE - the reasoning involved in drawing a conclusion or making a
logical judgment on the basis of circumstantial evidence and prior conclusions rather than on the basis of direct observation.
9. HYDROELECTRIC - Using the power of water currents to generate electric power. Generally, hydroelectric power is created by directing water flow through a turbine, where the water causes fans to turn, creating the torque needed to drive an electric generator. (Renewable)
10.FOSSIL FUELS - An energy-rich substance (such as petroleum, coal, or natural gas) derived from the accumulated remains of ancient plants and animals and used as fuel. (Non-renewable energy source)
