Bell Question• 1. Which alternative energy source

uses the energy from the Earth’s interior (core) for power?

• 2. Which alternative energy source uses the sun’s light for power?

• 3. Which type of fossil fuel is made of compressed plant remains, and is solid in form?

Nonrenewable vs.

Renewable Resources

GOAL• To be able to distinguish between

renewable and nonrenewable resources.

REVIEW• What are fossil fuels composed of?

(How are they created?)

REVIEW• What are the three types of fossil

fuels?

REVIEW• Compare the benefits and

consequences of using fossil fuels

REVIEW• Determine which alternative

energy source holds the most promise for use in the future. Support your opinion with a fact.

REVIEW• Differentiate between

hydroelectric and tidal power

REVIEW• Differentiate between hydrogen

and nuclear energy

Pair Activity• Nonrenewable resources include

– Oil– Coal– Natural Gas

• See if you can come up with atleast 3 more resources that the Earth provides us with (either renewable or nonrenewable)

Nonrenewable Resources• Nonrenewabl

e Resources• When they are used up,

they cannot be replaced by nature

Nonrenewable Resources• Nonrenewabl

e Resource Examples

• 1. Fossil Fuels– Coal– Oil – Natural Gas

Nonrenewable Resources• Nonrenewabl

e Resource Examples

• 2. Minerals- mined, dug out of rocks and soil– (Metals, gemstones)

Resources• Resources that are

continuously replaced by nature

much

Natural Resources•Use your earth science

book to answer the questions pertaining to the renewable and nonrenewable resources of the planet.

Use your earth science book to answer the questions pertaining to the Earth’s resources.

1. What is solar energy and what its advantages and disadvantages?

2. Describe the process of nuclear power?

3. What are 3 obstacles in developing wind power?

4. What is hydroelectric power and how does the process work?

5. Is geothermal energy renewable or nonrenewable and how is it used?

6. How is tidal power harnessed and where is most useful and least useful?
