Presentation Transcript

  1. Natural ResourcesENERGY List some of Earth’s Natural Energy Resources:

  2. What is a Nonrenewable Resource? Natural resources that take millions of years to form naturally and therefore cannot be replaced once they are consumed and will eventually be used up. The main energy sources used by humans are non-renewable.

  3. What is a Renewable Resource? Any natural resource that can be replenished naturally with the passage of time.

  4. Which Natural Energy Resources do you think are Nonrenewable?

  5. Which Natural Energy Resources do you think are Renewable?

  6. Some Nonrenewable Energy Resources Coal, oil shale, nuclear, oil, natural gas.

  7. Some Renewable Resources Wind, solar, trees, water, geothermal, soil.

  8. Energy Facts • There is a finite amount of nonrenewable energy available to us. • As population increases, the demand for energy is increasing exponentially. • The cost of energy is increasing exponentially. • We need to develop more cost effective ways to implement renewable energy resources into our lives on a larger scale.

  9. Third Grade “Exploring Earth’s Energy”

  10. Renewable Energy is Clean Energy Clean energy is any energy that causes little or no harm to the environment. • Wind energy • Solar energy • Geothermal – what is this??? • Hydrogen • Fuel cells • Wave and tidal energy • Biomass – what’s this???

  11. Current Event: “The Race to Own the Arctic” • Currently 8 countries are vying for 5.5 million square miles of sea and land above the Arctic Circle. • U.S., Canada, Russia, Greenland, Finland, Norway, Sweden, Denmark. • Vast oil and natural gas deposits – up to 25% of Earth’s reserves. • As ice thins due to climate change, sea routes that could make shipping goods to and from Asia and Europe cheaper and faster.

  12. What do you need to know? • What are the definitions of renewable and nonrenewable energy resources? • What are examples of renewable and nonrenewable energy resources? • What are some current energy facts? • What is the title of the 3rd grade Sandstone Seminar lesson? • What is clean energy and what are some examples? • Why is the Arctic a “hot” topic in terms of energy?
