Do you agree with the statement? 1 Energy from sunlight can be used for heat and electricity. Yes No

Do you agree with the statement? 2 The power of wind is used to turn turbines and create electricity. Yes No

Do you agree with the statement? 3 Hydroelectric power plants pollute. Yes No

Do you agree with the statement? 4 Geothermal energy can make electricity only during the evening hours. Yes No

Solar Energy Solar energyis energy from sunlight and uses solar  cells use sunlight to make electricity. Solar energy is renewable and it does not pollute the  environment. But we cannot get solar energy at night or on cloudy  days, that is why we use it in a limited way. 1. Also, changing solar energy into electricity is  expensive and can also create dangerous wastes. Second paragraph pg. 306

Wind Energy Wind turbines are used to change wind energy into  electricity and do not cause pollution. 1. The speed of the blades does not have anything to do with  how much energy it produces, but wind turbines spin faster in  light winds than old windmills did. 2. Some disadvantages are the wind does not blow all the  time and birds can die if they fly into the turbines. First paragraph pg. 308

Moving Water Hydroelectricpower plants use moving water to make  electricity and usually built in dams. 1. Parts of generators spin as water moves through the  dam. As they spin, they make electricity. Hydroelectric plants do not use fuel to make electricity  so they do not create pollution, and factories were built  near rivers to use the moving water. 1. The area also has to have a place where a lake can  form behind a dam. These lakes flood animal and plant  habitats and can also harm fish. First paragraph pg. 310

Nuclear Energy Nuclear power uses hot uranium to make steam,  which makes electricity. 1. Nuclear power plants use less fuel than power plants  that use coal or oil and they do not produce smoke. 2. Nuclear power plants are expensive to build, they  make harmful wastes and uranium is a rare metal and a  nonrenewable energy source. Second paragraph pg. 312

Geothermal Energy Geothermalenergy is made from high  temperatures inside the Earth. 1. One way this energy is used is to pour water  down deep holes into hot rock so that hot water or  steam rushes to the surface to make electricity. 2. Geothermal energy can make electricity all day,  all night and can be used all year long. 3. But geothermal energy can only be made in  places close to the surface of the Earth and the  steam can also cause pollution. Fourth paragraph pg. 312

Energy of Biomass Biomassis material that was recently  alive usually found in garbage, which  we will always have, therefore it is  renewable. Biomass is burned to make  electricity, so it does make air  pollution. First paragraph pg. 313 Wind Energy

MatchQuest Moving Water Nuclear Energy Geothermal Energy Energy of Biomass Solar Energy Wind Energy
