GOAL:The student will understand the difference between renewable and nonrenewable energy sources and will be able to describe the abilities of each.OBJECTIVES:The student will be able to: Show Hydropower is created by the flow of water. It is used to drive water turbines that produce energy. In the past, the waterwheel was used to produce energy for such tasks as cutting lumber or milling wheat. Today most hydropower is found on rivers where dams have been built. This way the flow of water, and thus energy production, can be controlled. Hydropower accounts for about 50% of the renewable energy used in the U.S. today. 2. List and briefly define the five types of renewable energy. Also give one example of how that energy source is already being used today.a.b.c. d.e. 3. Discuss some reasons why these renewable sources are not yet widely used today.

Electricity - This is not discussed as an energy source in this unit. This unit deals with primary, or natural, energy sources. Electricity is a secondary energy source. It is derived from a primary source.2. Energy - Energy is something that causes a change in matter. The forms of energy are light, heat, motion, sound, electricity, chemical energy, and nuclear energy. Energy cannot be created or destroyed but it can be changed from one form to another.3. Fossil Fuels - These refer to the three basic nonrenewable energy sources -- petroleum, natural gas and coal. It took millions of years for these fuels to form.Comments or questions to: Return to Home Energy Menu What are the 5 non renewable resources?In the United States and many other countries, most energy sources for doing work are nonrenewable energy sources:.
