Learning Goals:• I can name the different sources of
renewable and non-renewable energy production and how power is generated.
• I can assess some of the advantages and disadvantages of each type of energy production.
Renewable and Non-renewable Energy Sources
Types of Resources
Non-renewable resources: Cannot be replaced once it is used up.
Renewable resources: Can be re-used or replaced.
Generating Large Amounts of Energy
Using a generator: They transform kinetic energy into an electric current. Magnets inside a generator are rotated by a turbine, a
machine that uses the flow of a fluid (water) to turn a shaft.
The magnets spinning pulls electrons away from their atoms and creates a flowing current.
Current is sent through transmission lines to cities.
