Renewables
Look at the picture- 100 R
WHat is it and Name one thing about how it works.
What is a Wind Turbine
Fasted growing renewable enerfy source in the world. The wind turns the turbine and generates energy.
He developed the E=mc2 equation which described the relationship between evergy and matter. When matter is changed into energy an enormus amount of energy is released!
Who is Albert Einstein?
This is how people get natural gas out of the ground and is often found in parts of Pennsylvania.
What is fracking
We use this in houses to keep the air in, blocking the transfer of heat between the air outside and inside a building.
What is insulation
Which one of these tings is NOT a biomass fuel:
sugar cane wastes
methane
gasohol
hydrogen
what is hydrogen
Hydrogen is a secondary source of energy. It stores and transports energy produced from other resources (fossil fuels, water, and biomass). It is rare in theair around us and very reactive!
This is necessary for hydroelectricity
What is flowing water
This is what we call the splitting of an atom's nucleus into 2 smaller nuclei.
What is Nuclear Fission
This is a fossil fuel that is carbon, mined, black in color, and formed from plant remains. See picture 200F.
What is coal
In order to save energy in our homes (where is lighting is concerned) it is important to remember to do this:
What is turn off the lights when leaving a room
The part of a nuclear power plant that undergoes uclear fisson is
hint: think GRAPHITE
what are the fuel rods
These are placed on peoples'
roofs to capture the energy of the sun
What are solar panels (or cells)
This is a risk of using nuclear power and it happened at Chernobyl and almost occured in Pennsylvania, Three Mile Island in March of 1979.
What is meltdown.
This fossil fuel is a thick, black liquid formed from the remains of algae, animals, and other organisms.
What is oil
This is a way to save energy while traveling to and from places:
What is:
ride public transportation (trains, busses)
ride a bike
buy a hybrid or E car/truck
Car Pool
Most of the energy on earth still comes from:
what are fossil fuels
There is a down side to solar energy use which is
What are overcast and rainy days
This part of a Nuclear Power Plant releases steam and excess heat.
Look at picture 400 F. This is where oil is made into gasoline.
What is a refinery
Efficiency is the percent of energy that is actually used to perform-------.
What is work
Below earth's surface there are pockets of very hot liquid rock called this:
What is magma
Biomass energy is made from this
What are living things such as wood.
Remember the video we watched about power plants? Where is the now largest nuclear power plant in the USA (and world).
What is Georgia?
This is ALSO made from oil
What are
Jet fuel
Diesel fuel
Grease/Wax
Asphalt
If we want to save energy (energy conservation) we can do these little things, every day:
What is
recycle
walk or rie your bike for a short trip-
use a fan instead of air conditioning
turn the heat down and use blankets
Combustion is when fuels are -------.
What is burned
