Most of the ENERGY around us originates from the SUN. The Sun´s energy reaches Earth and is converted into many forms which we then use to supply our energy demands.
Many things around us require energy in order to function. TV set and stereo, microwave oven and electric kettle, computer and refrigerator - all of them need energy to work. Besides, energy is also necessary to make a car run, to keep the house warm or to heat water for showers.
Energy
is produced or generated from natural resources, which are usually called energy sources. The examples of energy sources are gas, oil, water, sun and wind. However, not all energy sources are created equal. Some of them can be dangerous for the environment we live in.
That is why people decided to find other sources of energy, which would not harm the air and the amount of which would never end. Such types of energy sources are called alternative. All of these sources give us “clean” energy, because it is safe for people and for the environment we live in.
Read about alternative energy sources HERE.
EXERCISES:
1.- Write the names of all the types of alternative energy.
2.- Write something that surprised you.
3.- Choose one type of energy and write a short summary about its uses, pros and cos.
4.- Now you can test your knowledge about renewable and nonrenewable energy sources with this GAME. What was your score?

Hello!
ReplyDelete1) Solar power, wind energy, geothermal, nuclear and so much more.
2) One thing that surprised me is that the ancient Romans used glass windows to keep out the cold but let in the sunlight and trap the heat
3)WIND ENERGY
PROS- I think that this energy never is going to be finish
COS- The people that used this energy can´t controle the quantity of wind that they need
4)My score was 7/10
Bye :D
Hello class!
ReplyDelete1- Solar power, wind energy, geothermal, nuclear, tidal, etc.
2- One thing that surprised me is that the solar energy may be passive solar or active solar depending on how the sun's rays are captured, converted and distributed as power.
3- Nuclear energy: Is a fountain of energy, but is dangeuroes and radiactive. I think that the nuclear energy is the most confortable for people, but is also the most harmful for the environment. I think also that in the future the nuclear energy will develop more than actually, and almost all the people use this type of energy, althought will very harmful, like now.
4- I answered all the question well and the game said me: "You got 10 questions right.
Congratulations! You are an ENERGY WHIZ!!!"
Bye class!
Hello class!
ReplyDelete1:Wind energy,Nuclear energy,Hydro electric energy,human energy,geothermal energy etc.
2:The thing which surprised me is that we can use the sun energy for lots of things.
3:The geothermal energy is a resource that comes from heat deep within the earth.When magma rises close to the earth's surface and it comes in the form of volcanos, fumaroles, hot springs and geysers. The most famous geyser being "Old Faithful" at Yellowstone National Park in Wyoming.
4.All my answers were right 10/10.
BYE!
Hi! ;)
ReplyDeleteHere are my answers about energy resources!
1~ Solar energy, wind energy, geothermal energy, biomass energy, nuclear energy, tidal energy, hydrogen energy, cold fusion power and DIY energy
2~ The drawing of human power, that shows a man riding a bike and he makes energy from this. LINK: http://www.alternative-energy-geek.com/images/humanpower-cartoon.jpg
3~ Biomass energy is a energy from living or recently living organic material. It's expensive, it damage the ozone layer and contribute to global warming. Biomass energy use renewable fuels.
4~ I get 10 points, like Javi, the game said me: ''Congratulations! You are an ENERGY WHIZ!!!''
Bye class! It was an interesting activity because we learnt a lot of ways for making energy!
Good afternoon class! My answers are:
ReplyDelete1~Solar power energy, wind energy, geothermal, nuclear and so much more.
2~One thing that surprised me is that greenhouses were also invented to make out of season fruits and vegetables.
3-Tidal Energy--->Twice each day the earth's oceans move enormous amounts of water and converting that into electricity is a form of hydropower.
Pros-> it has possibly the greatest potential for the future and it is one of the virtually inexhaustible, renewable energy sources.
Cos-> we waste so much water.
4-The game said me: You got 8 questions right.Congratulations! You are an ENERGY WHIZ!!!
Goodbye class! I wish you a perfec Easter Week :)
