The document discusses different types of energy resources used in the Philippines to generate electricity, including solar, geothermal, hydropower, coal, natural gas, and wind. It provides information on each type of energy resource such as how electricity is produced from it, examples of locations it is found in the Philippines, and in some cases specific power plants that utilize that resource. It also contains a Venn diagram for students to classify the different energy resources according to renewable vs. non-renewable sources.

1. Energy
Resources

2. Activity 1: What’s in the Middle?
Study and copy the given diagram below in your Science activity notebook.
What is needed to operate the following devices? Write your answer in the
middle circle to complete the diagram.

3. 1. Which one
provides
electrical power
in your place?
2. What do you
know about the
source of
electrical power in
your locality?

4. Solar Energy
energy from the sun is converted into electrical
energy using solar panels
cleanest and most abundant renewable
energy source available
solar power plants are Petrosolar in Tarlac
City, Helios in Negros Occidental, and First
Toledo Solar in Cebu

5. Geothermal
Energy
contained in the rocks and fluids beneath the
earth's crust and can be found as far down to the
earth's hot molten rock called magma
carried by water and steam to the earth’s
surface to generate electricity
geothermal power plants are Makbanin Laguna,
Tiwi in Albay, Bacman in Sorsogon, and
Palimpinon in Negros Occidental

6. Hydropower or
Hydroelectric
conversion of energy from flowing
water into electricity
some also utilize hydrothermal energy
large hydroelectric power plants are
Ambuklao in Benguet, Magat in Isabela,
and Agus in Lanao del Sur and Lanao del
Norte

7. Coal
black or brownish-black, solid rock that
can be burned and used as fuel to generate
electric power
taken under the ground through mining
source of air pollution when used as fuel
and produce carbon dioxide, a greenhouse
gas
the largest deposit is located in Semirara
Island, Antique

8. TRIVIA
Fossil fuels were formed from plants and animals that
lived millions of years ago and are buried deep in the
earth. Examples are coal, petroleum (crude oil), and
natural gas. We only have coal and natural gas in the
country.

9. Natural Gas
used as fuel to produce electricity
produces the least carbon dioxide among
fossil fuels
deposits are found offshore in Palawan
The Malampaya Gas Field employs
‘deepwater technology’ to draw natural gas from
deep beneath Philippine waters.

10. Carbon dioxide (CO2) is
naturally present in the air in small
amounts. Much of this is produced
by burning fossil fuels. Studies
show that an increase in carbon
dioxide in the atmosphere
increases atmospheric
temperature resulting in global
warming.

11. Wind Energy or Wind Power
wind is used to generate electricity
wind turbines convert the kinetic
energy of the wind into electrical energy
windmills are found in Quirino, Ilocos
Sur and Bangui, Ilocos Norte
