Renewable/Nonrenewable Energy
What is a renewable resource?
A resource that can be replenished or used again.
Where do solar panels get their energy from?
The sun.
What is potential energy?
Stored energy.
What happened when the solar ducks were in the sunlight and then in the dark?
In the sunlight, the duck moves and in the dark the duck stays still.
What kind of energy do smartboards use?
Electrical and light.
What is a nonrenewable resource?
A resource that can not be replenished or replaced
How does hydro-electric energy work?
The water spins the turbines and converts it to useable energy.
What is kinetic energy?
Energy in motion.
What happened when the hand warmers were on the thermometer for a longer period of time?
The temperature went up.
What type of energy is a rubber band?
Elastic energy.
What are some examples of renewable resources?
Water
Wind
Plants
Trees
Sun
Solar energy gives what organism food?
Plants.
What is an example of potential and kinetic energy from the spool racers?
When you wind up the rubberband you create potential energy, when it actually moves there is kinetic energy.
What type of energy did the spool racer use?
Elastic to mechanical energy.
What is force?
An interaction that causes an affected object to be pushed or pulled in a certain
direction.
What are examples of nonrenewable resources?
Coal
Oil
Gas
How is wind energy used?
Wind spins the turbines which create energy from spinning.
When did the racecar have the most energy during the collision experiment?
When it was stacked on 3 books/the most books.
Why did the rulers move further when the rubber band was pulled more in the ruler rocket experiment?
It had more potential energy.
How does Hydro Electric Power work? Is it renewable or nonrenewable?
Water runs through turbines creating and storing energy
renewable.
What are some ways to conserve energy?
Turn off lights
Turn off water
Recycle
What is electrical energy?
Energy received from and electrical source such as an outlet
During the ruler rocket experiment, when did it have the most potential energy?
When you pulled the rubberband the furthest distance.
When the car collided with the other car at the end of the ramp why did it move?
Transfer of energy, the force of one car moved the other.
Where is natural gas found and is it renewable or nonrenewable?
Found in reserves all over the world and can be easily transported through pipes, tanks, and ships
nonrenewable.
