  1. Solar Energy Renewable Energy Wind Power By: Casey Sentmanat Meikeion Moore Andre Hood Joshua Boswell Mr. Townsend Pd. 10 Geothermal Energy Hydroelectricity

  2. About Solar Energy • Little do we know, we use solar energy everyday. When the sun shines on a window and heats a room, the room is being heated by solar power. Solar energy can also be used indirectly to generate electricity in solar cells. SEV4.b:Describe how technology is increasing the efficiency Of utilization and accessibility of resources

  3. Advantages and Disadvantages of Solar Energy • Advantage: An average household could reduce its energy bills by using passive solar features • Disadvantage: Although it is cost effective, solar energy requires extended periods of sunshine to produce electricity SEV4.b:Describe how technology is increasing the efficiency Of utilization and accessibility of resources

  4. About Wind Power • Energy from the sun warms the Earth’s surface unevenly, which causes air masses to flow in the atmosphere, We experience the movement of these air masses as wind. Wind power, which converts the movement of wind into electric energy, is the fastest- growing energy source in the world SEV4.d: Describe the relationship of energy consumption and the living standards of societies

  5. Advantages and Disadvantages of Wind Power • Advantage: New wind turbines are cost effective and can be erected in three months. As a result, the cost of wind power has declined dramatically. • Disadvantage: One of the problems of wind energy is transporting electricity from rural areas where it is gener- ated to centers where it is needed. SEV4.b:Describe how technology is increasing the efficiency Of utilization and accessibility of resources

  6. About Hydroelectricity • Hydroelectricity energy, which is energy produced from moving water, is a renewable resource that accounts for about 20% of the world’s electricity.

  7. Advantages and Disadvantages of Hydroelectricity • Advantage: Unlike fossil fuel plants, hydroelectric plants don’t release air pollutants that cause acid precipitation. • Disadvantage: Hydroelectric plants are expensive to build.

  8. Rubric • Behavior- Follows Instructions: Listens to instructions & follows directions • Content Creativity: Creative delivery of content • Media- Graphics: Backgrounds, illustrations, photographs, diagrams • Writing- Spelling and Grammar: Correct grammar & spelling • Design- Layout and Organization: Organized & easy to read A= Distinguished B= Proficient C= Apprentice D/F= Novice
