TOPIC: EnergyAIM: Describe the various sources of
energy that exist on Earth. Do Now: 1. Take out your KE and PE notes.2. Take out your numbers.
HW: Page 2 in KE/PE notes packet #’s 1 – 10 on the bottom off paper.
Gravitational
PE
•PE that depends on height
•More height greater GPE
•Less height less GPE
Energy appears in many forms. Which form of energy is lightening?
1.Magnetic
2.Mechanical
3.sound
4.Electrical
A family is moving from Pennsylvania to Connecticut. As the moving van burns gasoline, it converts
1.chemical energy into mechanical energy
2.kinetic energy into potential energy
3.thermal energy into electrical energy
4.mechanical energy into kinetic energy
When an electric current flows through a metal filament of a light bulb, the electrical energy is converted into
1.heat energy, only
2.heat and light energy

1. Describe the difference between renewable and nonrenewable resources.
• Nonrenewable: – Once it is used up, it
cannot be made again– Not as clean
• Renewable: – Constantly available– Cleaner form of energy
2. Describe how fossil fuels were produced.
• Formed more than 400 million years ago during the Carboniferous Period (before dinosaurs)
• Made up of plant and animal matter
3. Identify the 3 types of fossil fuels.
•Oil: –Thick, black gooey liquid–Called PETROULEUM(highly flammable)
•Used to produce: –Lubricants (grease, motor oil)
- Plastics- Synthetic fibers- Asphalt
•Natural Gas: –Made out of methane–Burned to provide energy for cooking, heating…
•Burns more cleanly than other fossil fuels
•Coal–Different forms from hard, black rocks to soft, brown dirt
•Creates more than half of electricity in the US
•Creates more pollution
DISADVANTAGE of Burning Fossil Fuels?????
– Release carbon dioxide (global warming)
–Pollution (acid rain, smog)
•Solar energy: uses energy from the sun

• Disadvantage: – very expensive
Wind: - moves turbines to produce electricity
•Advantages:–No pollution–Low costs
•Disadvantage–No wind no energy
Geothermal energy: •Heat from earth’s interior (magma) used to generate electricityhttp://www.youtube.com/watch?v=-ajqiPe_9Ko
Disadvantages:
•Could run out of water if too much is removed too quickly
•Difficult to tell where geothermal reservoirs are
•Water could contain minerals that are corrosive
Hydropower: •electricity produced from energy of
moving waterhttp://www.youtube.com/watch?v=fvYaCtjpMvk
Biomass: •Energy from byproducts of human activity•Example: wood, garbage, crops
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=sN68ef6trEs
Disadvantages: •Pollution •Building power plants disrupts ecosystems•Expensive
Biogas is one of the most popular sources of renewable energy. It is a good resource to make farms be independent as biogas can be used for electricity generation. Compressed biogas can also be used as an alternative vehicle fuel. It is a colorless, odorless, inflammable gas. Biogas is produced when organic matter is broken down by anaerobic bacteria. Bio energy is a major player in sustainable living in countries like India and China where individual biogas generators have been developed in villages to make them self-sufficient in terms of power generation.
Ethanol = clear, colorless alcohol fuel made from the sugars found in grains, such as corn & wheat, and potato skins & rice. It is renewable because it is made from plants. To make ethanol we use yeast to ferment the sugars and starch in corn. Corn is the main ingredient for ethanol in the US due to its abundance and low price. The starch is fermented into sugar fermented into alcohol. Other crops such as, barley, wheat, rice, sorghum, sunflower, potatoes, sugar cane and sugar beets can also be used to produce ethanol.
•Nuclear Energy: –found in the nuclei of atoms
Let’s summarize…
1.Describe the difference between renewable and nonrenewable resources.
2.Identify three nonrenewable resources.
3.Describe the disadvantages of using fossil fuels.
4.Identify some renewable resources.
