CAMERA POLICY

Teachers will send a private message then verbal warning if a student’s camera is not on.
Continued non-camera use will result in moving up the discipline ladder.

First offense: Teacher conferences with student and documents in IC.

Second offense: Teacher conferences with student, contacts LC and documents in IC.

Third offense: Teacher conferences with student, contacts LC, sends over to academic
coach for support and documents in IC.

Fourth offense: Academic coach submits discipline referral to discipline AP

Please make sure to turn your camera on at the beginning of each class.

You can set it to private (only teacher sees) or public (everyone sees).

Nonrenewable Energy
Origin and Consumption

What effects does our energy
consumption have on natural

resources ?

How does the use/production of

those resources impact the

environment?

The more clearly we can focus our attention
on the wonders and realities of the universe

about us, the less taste we shall have for

destruction. – Rachel Carson

Learning Goals

I can identify the types of nonrenewable resources

I can identify the origins of nonrenewable resources

STANDARD

communicate information to

allocation, and sustainability of

energy resources.

communicate information on the

origin and consumption of

renewable forms of energy and

Vocabulary

Energy Use and Energy Sources

● Energy makes things happen; the ability to do work

● Found in food chains, solar energy driving most biological processes and

fossil fuels(examples.

● Responsible for making change and the maintenance of all processes on

Earth(characteristic).

● Supports machine use for the human population(characteristic).

● Dependence on nonrenewable fossil fuels to support our lifestyles has

created many environmental problems,

● Current focus to move toward renewable fuels sources that support the

growing population and reduce the impact on our planet.

In the Frayer model Energy is defines as, "the capacity for doing work" examples are kinetic chemical, combustion, or mechanical, etc. What would be a characteristic of work?

energy characteristics

●

●

.

• Energy is invisible in nature but it can manifest itself through light, wind.

• Energy can neither be destroyed nor be created, it can only be transmitted from one form to another.

• Sun and stars are the ultimate source of energy.

• Universe has a constant and finite amount of energy.

.

● Energy conservation is something everyone can do now to help reduce-we will learn this later this week.

the strain on energy resources.

Energy Basics

●Energy exists in many forms: heat, light, chemical energy, and electrical energy.

●Energy - ability to bring about change or to do work

●Thermodynamics - study of the energy and work of a system.

●Conservation of matter - First Law of Thermodynamics.

○Energy can be changed from one form to another, but it cannot be created or destroyed. Therefore,
the total amount of energy and matter on Earth and in the Universe remains constant; it is merely
changing from one form to another.

●Second Law of Thermodynamics - in all energy exchanges (or work done), if no energy enters or leaves the
system, the potential energy of the state will always be less than that of the initial state.

○There is the same amount of energy, but it is just less usable. This is known as entropy. In biological
systems a large percentage of the fuel (food) we use ends up as unusable heat, the same is true for all
energy exchanges and entropy is this increasing disorder of less usable energy.

Fossil fuels

Nonrenewable energy is

divided into two parts

● Natural gas

● Coal

origins of fossil fuels
starting with crude oil

● Fossil Fuels-can you

● No, I do not

Phytoplankton & zooplankton

Layers of
sediment

•Crude oil and natural
gas are formed from
phytoplankton and
zooplankton

•Microorganisms sink to
the bottom of the ocean
when they die forming
layers of organic rich
sediment

•High primary production,
stagnant, stratified water
column, lack of sea floor
decomposers, low oxygen
(anoxic) = good
conditions for forming oil
and gas source rocks

Drill

• Oil and gas migrate

upwards form the source
rock into reservoir rocks
capped by impermeable
seals

• Can sometimes migrate all

the way to the surface e.g.
La Brae tarpits

• Trapped deposits are

drilled to release oil and
gas

• Hydraulic fracking can

also be used to extract gas

• Crude oil is refined by fractional distillation into kerosene,

petrol, diesel etc. before it is used as a fuel.

• Relatively inexpensive to extract.
• Reliable and dependable source of energy and income for

local community e.g. in Aberdeen, Scotland.

• Natural gas can be converted into liquid form
• When oil and gas are burnt they release gas into the

atmosphere. carbon dioxide

• Oil spills are environmental disasters – e.g. BP Mexico oil spill

• Coal is cheap and there is lots of it!
• When coal is are burnt it releases carbon

dioxide, sulphur dioxide and nitrogen dioxide into the atmosphere contributing

to global warming and acid rain.

• Coal mining is harmful to the environment

and mine workers – toxic dust, cave-ins
and explosions.

Uranium Mining: Powering

the Nuclear Age

Origins for nuclear energy

What is Uranium?

●Uranium is a naturally occurring radioactive element

●Symbol: (U), Atomic number: (92)

●Found in small amounts in rocks and minerals

●Key component in nuclear energy production

●Discovered in 1789 by German chemist Martin Klaproth

The Origin of Uranium

●Formed about 6.6 billion years ago in supernovas

●Part of Earth's crust since its formation

●Concentrated in certain geological formations

●Main uranium-bearing minerals:

●Uraninite (pitchblende)

●Carnotite

●Autunite

Uranium Mining Methods

●Open-pit mining: for deposits near the surface

●Underground mining: for deeper deposits

●In-situ leaching (ISL): most common method today

●Involves pumping a solution into the ground

●Dissolves and extracts uranium

●Heap leaching: for low-grade ores

Benefits of Uranium Mining

●Provides fuel for nuclear energy

●Nuclear power is low-carbon energy source

●Contributes to energy independence

●Creates jobs and economic opportunities

●Advances in technology and science

Risks and Challenges

●Environmental concerns:

●Potential water contamination

●Habitat disruption

●Health risks for miners and nearby communities

●Proper waste management is crucial

●Requires strict safety regulations

●Long-term storage of radioactive waste

Doodle Science teaches you high school physics in a less boring way in almost no time!

Script:Fossil fuels are non-renewable energy resources; these are coal, oil and natural gas. They were formed from the remains of living organisms millions of years ago and they release heat energy when they are burned. This heat is used to turn water into steam, which is used to turn a turbine, which then drives a generator to generate electricity. There are downsides however, fossil fuels release sulphur dioxide and carbon dioxide which lead to acid rain and an increase in global warming.

Another form of non-renewable energy is Nuclear. The main nuclear fuels are uranium and plutonium. The nuclei of these large atoms are split in a process called nuclear fission to release a great deal of heat. The heat energy is again used to boil water. The kinetic energy in the expanding steam spins turbines, which then drive generators to produce electricity. Unlike fossil fuels, nuclear fuels do not produce carbon or sulphur dioxide. However, they do have the risk of a fault where large amounts of radioactive material could be released into the environment such as the disaster of Chernobyl in 1986.
