Fun with Energy Sources

What is renewable energy?

• Energy derived from fossil fuels

• Energy that cannot be reused

• Energy generated from nuclear reactions

• Renewable energy is energy from sources that are naturally replenished, such as solar, wind, and hydro.

Can you name a renewable energy source?

• Nuclear energy

• Coal

• Natural gas

• Solar energy

What is non-renewable energy?

• Energy that can be easily replenished

• Energy that is always available and sustainable

• Non-renewable energy is energy derived from sources that are not replenished naturally in a short period.

• Energy derived from solar and wind sources

Can you name a non-renewable energy source?

• Solar

How do we use solar energy?

• We use solar energy by converting sunlight into electricity using solar panels or capturing heat for heating applications.

• Converting solar energy into natural gas for heating

• Storing solar energy in batteries for nighttime use only

• Using solar energy to power fossil fuel plants

What is wind energy?

• Energy derived from solar panels

• Wind energy is the energy obtained from the wind, used to generate electricity or mechanical power.

• Electricity produced from geothermal sources

• Power generated by fossil fuels

How do wind turbines work?

• Wind turbines work by converting wind energy into electrical energy through the rotation of blades connected to a generator.

• Wind turbines work by using solar panels to capture sunlight.

• Wind turbines operate by creating a vacuum that pulls air in.

• Wind turbines generate energy by burning fossil fuels.

Can you name something that uses wind energy?

• Hydroelectric dam

• Geothermal plant

• Solar panel

Why is it important to save energy?

• To promote wastefulness

• To raise energy prices

• To increase energy consumption

• It is important to save energy to protect the environment, conserve resources, and reduce costs.
