Monday/Tuesday-
Benchmark Test
If we
have time
Class
work
Students
will read one page on geothermal energy then answer the question on the back
of that handout.
Wednesday/Thursday-
Students will take a few notes on alternative energy. Once
the teacher explains the notes and discusses them with the students, the
students will watch a film (video) based on the fossils fuels discussed.
Classroom/Homework: Three (3) handouts
1.Acceleration
2.Work and Energy
3.Energy Every Second
Graded GR&SW pages 101-107 in class
Homework assignment in GR&SW pages 108-112 due
Tuesday/Wednesday
May 26-27, 2008.
Friday
Video on nuclear power
Notes
Students will copy from overhead projector the following
words:
- Energy-
The ability to do work
- Matter-
Substance that has a form and takes up space. {Energy can change into
matter and matter can be converted to energy} [Types of energy 1. Food, 2. Potential, 3. Kinetic, 4.
Chemical, 5. Heat, 6. Nuclear, 7. Electrical, 8. Sound
- Fossil
Fuels- Are nonrenewable energy resources that form in the Earth’s crust
over millions of years. Types of fossil fuels: 1. Petroleum (animals) 2.
Natural Gas (animals) and Coal (plants)
- Potential
energy- The energy an object has because of its position or shape.
(stored)
- Kinetic
energy- The energy of motion. (moving)
- Wind
energy- Used wind warmed by the sun {EX: windmill for water}
- Hydroelectric
energy- Uses water. They must be
built only where large amounts of water are stored behind a dam.
- Geothermal
energy (geo means earth) Energy resulting from the heating of the
earth’s crust. (EX: geysers, Magma) Picture/diagram of a geothermal
plants {free energy (turbine generator electricity)}
- Nonrenewable
resource- A natural resource that can not be replaced. This means that
there is a limited amount that humans can use. (EX: coal)
- Recycling-
the process by which used or discarded materials are treated for reuse.
(EX: paper, aluminum)
- Inexhaustible
resources- A natural resource that can not be used up.
- Natural
Resource- Any natural substance, organism, or energy form that living
things use. Most resources are
made into products that people use to make their lives easier and more
comfortable.
- Renewable
resource- A natural resource that can be used and replaced over a
relatively short time. (EX: fresh water and trees) [3% fresh water---97%
salt water---2% of fresh water is ice at the poles}
- Biomass-
Organic matter that contains stored energy. (EX: leaves, wood, dung from
animals)
- Nuclear
energy- Alternative source of energy that comes from the nuclei of atoms
by fission. Radioactive atoms are
used. (EX: U 92 238
- Solar
energy- energy from the sun (EX: fusion combining hydrogen atoms)
