What is renewable energy?
Renewable energy is power derived from naturally replenishing, virtually inexhaustible sources—such as sunlight, wind, water.
What is solar energy?
Solar energy is simply the light and heat that comes from the sun
Why should we weed a garden?
Weeding your garden is essential to maximize your harvest. Weeds act as aggressive competitors, stealing vital water, soil nutrients, and sunlight from your desired plants. Removing them also prevents stunted growth, keeps pests and diseases at bay, and ensures your plants don't get choked out
This is the only continent without deserts.
Europe
What does energy mean?
Energy is simply the capacity to do work or cause a change in matter
How does wind energy work?
When wind blows over the turbine's specially shaped blades, it creates lift, forcing them to spin. This rotational motion turns a central shaft, which powers a generator to produce electricity.
What is a resilient plant?
a plant variety bred or genetically adapted to withstand severe environmental stresses without failing
This color was named after the fruit, not the other way around
orange
What is sustainable energy?
Sustainable energy is power generated in a way that meets today’s needs without compromising the ability of future generations to meet theirs
What is hydroelectricity?
Hydroelectricity works by converting the kinetic energy of moving or falling water into electrical energy. Rushing water spins a turbine, turning a generator that uses magnets to produce electricity
Name me any 2 plants that grow wild in NB (trees, flowers, veggies / fruit, etc.)
Will look up answers
This animal lives in Northern parts of North America and is the largest member of the deer family
moose
What is a circuit?
An electric circuit is a continuous, closed path or loop that allows electric current (the flow of electrons) to travel.
How does tidal energy work?
Tidal energy captures the kinetic and potential energy of moving ocean water caused by the gravitational pull of the moon and sun. As massive volumes of water rise and fall daily, this predictable movement turns submerged turbines or pushes through dams to generate electricity
What is a pollinator garden?
A pollinator garden is a specialized outdoor space designed to attract and support local wildlife—such as bees, butterflies, and hummingbirds—by providing essential food, shelter, and water.
According to the Declaration of Independence, "All men are created" this way
equal
What is sustainability?
Sustainability is the ability to meet present needs without compromising the ability of future generations to meet theirs
What is biomass?
Biomass is renewable organic material derived from plants and animals that is primarily used as a source of energy. Because it stores chemical energy originally captured from the sun, biomass can be burned directly for heat or converted into liquid and gaseous biofuels
What is the difference between a pollinator garden and a regular garden?
Pollinator Garden: Emphasizes native flowers, shrubs, and host plants that insects and caterpillars need to complete their life.
Regular Garden: Features a mix of introduced or exotic cultivars and heavily bred hybrid flowers. Hybrids often have double-petals that make it physically impossible for insects to reach the nectar
