This energy comes from flowing, falling water
What is hydroelectric energy?
This fossil fuel is most commonly used for heating and electricity, in Alberta
What is...natural gas
The province with the largest hydroelectric power generation.
What is Quebec (or BC)
When the blades turn around and around, what next happens that ACTUALLY converts the moving blades into electricity?
What is, there's a coil of wire wrapped around a magnet. As it turns, electricity is created
This is a major risk associated with nuclear power plants
Nuclear waste getting out and harming waters, land, people...it's such dangerous stuff! Where do we put it now?
This energy is based off of the flow of water twice daily
What is tidal energy
What is the teacher in this room's favourite fruit?
What is... (whatever they say)! Haha!
This Canadian province is known for vast oil sands
What is Alberta
A cool new invention for hydroelectric dams
What is:
-trapping devices to prevent fish from getting through
-seperate tunnels for organisms living in the water
-systems that can track the water from bottom to top again so you don't use water over and over from the land.
Hydroelectric dams are a concern to the environment because of this factor.
What is:
-kills fish (?)
-requires blocking of water before it falls over the edge (can cause flooding or drying up of areas)...
This energy is produced using the initial input of hot energy and not matter
What is solar energy
This fossil fuel is used mostly for transportation vehicles
What is gasoline
This province relies heavily on nuclear energy
what is Ontari-ari-o
One cool new innovation for solar panels.
What is:
-solar boxes (panels on all sides of a box)
-double sided solar panels
-solar panels that move and track the sun's light...
Burning fossil fuels causes this great concern to the environment
-adds greenhouse gases to the atmosphere
-can cause acid rain
-can ruin the land where you removed it from...
This renewable energy uses organic materials like wood or crop waste
What is biomass energy?
This energy source involves splitting atoms to release energy
What is...nuclear energy
Which Canadian province has the largest solar energy installations?
What is Ontario (but I will also take Manitoba because I told you that story about driving across the country)
How many children does this teacher have?
Whatever their answer is...trust them you must.
This renewable energy is considered clean but can harm swimmers who get too close due to causing a water whirlpool.
What is tidal power
This type of renewable energy uses the Earth's internal heat.
What is geothermal energy?
Name a major environmental concern with coal use (burning coal).
What is:
-greenhouse gases
-pollution
-land destruction (or loss of habitat) while getting it out of the ground..
Where in our province do we see the most amount of wind farms?
What is...Southern Alberta
A cool new innovation for wind energy creation
What is "off shore wind turbines", or ...
Except for potentially harming birds, what else can wind power potentially do to the environment (negatively)?
What is:
-health concerns due to magnetic resonance
-disruption to animals due to magnetic resonance
...
