Energy: What is it used for?
• Heats our homes• Makes electricity• Fuels cars, trucks,
buses and planes• Products made
from oil and gas– Backpacks– Toys– Glasses– Clothing

Energy: Where Would We Be Without It?
• No heat in our homes• No electricity• No fuels for cars, trucks,
buses and planes• No products made from
oil and gas– Backpacks– Toys– Glasses– Clothing
NO
NO

Non-Renewable and Renewable• Non-renewable– Energy sources that are NOT replaced by nature as
quickly as they are used. Examples: oil, gas, coal (fossil fuels) and nuclear energy
• Renewable– Energy sources that are easily and quickly replaced by
nature.– Examples: hydropower, solar, wind, geothermal
biomass

Nuclear Energy
• Nuclear energy is energy that comes from the nucleus of a U-235 atom. U-235 is split through fission and it releases energy. Uranium is mined from the ground.

Fossil fuels were formed from decayed organisms a long time ago under tremendous pressure.
Where Are the “Fossils” In Fossil Fuels?

Fossil fuels were forming way before dinosaurs lived
Where Are the “Fossils” In Fossil Fuels?
Fossil fuels are the remains of once living organisms that have been buried and compressed under many layers of sediment.

Coal
• Coal is a solid fossil fuel formed from dead PLANT matter. Coal is removed from Earth through mining.

Petroleum (Oil)• Petroleum or crude oil is a liquid fossil fuel
formed from dead plants AND animals. Petroleum must be pumped up from underground with drill rigs. Petroleum has to be refined before it can be used.

Natural Gas
• Natural gas is a gaseous fossil fuel. Natural gas forms on top of petroleum and is collected by drilling wells.

Hydroelectric Power
• Hydroelectric energy is energy that comes from moving water to create electricity.

Wind Energy• Wind energy is energy from moving air to create
electricity.

Solar Energy
• Solar energy is energy that comes from the sun. Solar energy can be used create heat OR to create electricity.

Biomass• Biomass is organic material made from plants and
animals. Biomass contains stored energy from the sun.
