4. Activities we will be doing in this
unit include…
1. Research and debate project
About the advantages and disadvantages of using the
following resources for our energy needs
coal, oil, natural gas, nuclear
power, biomass, wind, hydropower, geothermal and
solar
2. Designing a logical plan to manage energy
resources in the home, school, and/or
community.
5. What are energy resources?
Vocabulary
Energy resources – The natural materials
we use to satisfy our energy needs such
as electricity, transportation, production
of goods, etc.
Remember- natural means that it is found on or in the Earth, it
was not made by humans
Example- a tree is natural, a wooden fence is manmade
6. What are some of the energy
resources we use?
• Video
Renewable Vs. Nonrenewable Resources Video (4:18)
7. Vocabulary
Renewable energy resources – energy that
comes from resources which are
continually replenished on a human
timescale.
(Resources that are made again in a short time)
8. RENEWABLE RESOURCES
Renewable resources are
natural resources that CAN be
replenished in a short period of
time.
● Solar ● Geothermal
● Wind ● Biomass
● Hydroelectric (moving water)
9. Vocabulary
Non-Renewable energy resources – energy
resources that cannot be replenished (made
again) in a short period of time.
Nonrenewable energy sources come out of the
ground as liquids, gases, and solids.
10. NONRENEWABLE RESOURCES
A nonrenewable resource is a natural
resource that forms at a rate that is much
slower than the rate at which the resource
is consumed.
11. Vocabulary
Fossil fuels – Nonrenewable resources
formed millions of years ago from dead
plants and animals
• Oil
• Coal
• Natural Gas
• Uranium (Nuclear) is NOT a fossil fuel, but it is nonrenewable.
12. Activity
• Turn and Talk
– Name as many things as you can that use
electricity in your home, out of your
home, around the world. Think big.
– Turn off the lights for a minute. Pretend that
electricity didn’t exist. Think about it and be ready
to discuss.
13. Turn and Talk
What would life be like without electricity?
Where do we get electricity from?
Where do the power companies get it from?
14. Activity
Create the chart on the NEXT
CLEAN PAGE! Write the three
questions down, leaving three
lines between each one.
*** Spend about 5 or so
minutes writing down which
activities you have done so
far today up until this point.
*** Tomorrow (Wednesday)
you will finish filling out the
chart and answer the
questions as your warm up.
