What are living things or species?
This type of energy comes from sources that can be replaced naturally.
What is renewable energy?

Who is the Premier?
Goal #7 focuses on this type of energy that won’t run out.
What is renewable or clean energy?
This type of circuit has more than one path for the current to travel.
What is a parallel circuit?
One reason biodiversity is important for ecosystems.
It keeps them stable and healthy.
Give one example of a renewable energy source.
Solar, wind, hydro, geothermal, or biomass.
Name one responsibility of the federal government.

What is civic responsibility or participation?
Explain how the UN Goals connect to what Canada’s governments can do.

What are three parts needed to make a complete circuit?
A power source, wires (path), and a load (e.g., bulb).
Explain how biodiversity connects to renewable energy and sustainability.
Using renewable energy reduces pollution, which helps protect ecosystems and biodiversity.
Describe how using renewable energy supports one of the UN Sustainability Goals.
It supports Goal 7: Affordable and Clean Energy and Goal 13: Climate Action.
