  1. Energy resources Advantages and disadvantages of energy resources

  2. In class • Objective- I will be able to identify the advantages and disadvantages of energy resources. • Vocabulary- • Energy resources • Energy conservation • Coal • Oil • Natural gas • Nuclear power • Biomass • Hydropower • Wind • Geothermal • Solar resources

  3. @ Home • Study vocabulary • Review questions on stemscopes • http://laporteisd.stemscopes.com/

  4. Notes • Energy resources- anything that can be used as energy to do work • Energy conservation- method of energy use through insulation, increasing energy frequency, and changes in patterns of use. • Coal- a hard black substance that is burned to obtain energy. • Oil- Liquid petroleum obtained from once living marine animals that is burned to obtain energy.

  5. Notes • Natural gas- a gas found above petroleum deposits that is burned for energy. • Nuclear power - The splitting of uranium atoms to produce energy. • Biomass- plant material or animal waste that’s converted to useable energy. • Wind- Turbines harness the movement of air to convert it to useable energy.

  6. Notes • Hydropower- the movement of water through a dam that’s converted to useable energy. • Geothermal- Heat is harnessed beneath the Earth and converted to useable energy. • Solar- the Sun energy is collected and converted to useable energy.
