What is this all about??

• Think about our current unit and THIS VIDEO to try to determine what those beans represent!

• Resources are RENEWABLE and NONRENEWABLE! Which bean represented which type of resource? How do you know?

• Finish question 4 in your analysis.

Serious Issues…• Cups were 90% NONRENEWABLE (brown) and 10%

RENEWABLE (black). This represents our CURRENT use of resources!

• Is this a good thing???

More Issues…• At a CONSTANT rate we are good (Task 1)! But at an

INCREASING rate, we are in trouble (Task 2).

• Is our world using resources at a CONSTANT or INCREASING rate?

Which Would You Pick?• As Americans, are we consciously picking the

better options? The RENEWABLES??

• Or are our EYES CLOSED (what you did!) as we carelessly use resources??

Quick Check!

• On the lined paper UNDER your data, quickly write your own definition for the following terms:

1. Natural Resource

2. Renewable Resource

3. Nonrenewable Resource

Energy Resources

• Natural Resource – natural material used by humans

• Renewable Resource – a natural resource that can be replaced at the same rate it is used

• Nonrenewable Resource – A resource that forms at a rate that is much slower than the rate at which it is used

• Which type do we currently rely on most as humans?? Is this a good thing??

Task: Alert the President!

Write a short facebook post to President Obama warning him of the dangers we are facing as a society if we continue to use resources the way we are. Be sure to TAG the following words: renewable, nonrenewable, and resources. Add a # at the end with one word describing your overall feeling about our situation (ex: scared, optimistic, worried, etc).

Alternative Energy Resources

• We rely on FOSSIL FUELS like petroleum, coal, and natural gas

• BUT THEY ARE RUNNING OUT AND RUINING OUR PLANET!!

• So what do we do????

• Find an ALTERNATIVE!!! Like RENEWABLE energy!

Your Job: Investigate the Options!

1. Using Graphic Organizer we created, define fossil fuels and the 6 types of alternative energy sources.

*Use Chapter 18 Section 2 and 3 in your textbook

*1 - Fossil Fuels, 2 - Solar Energy, 3 - Hydroelectric, 4 - Geothermal,5 - Biomass, 6 - Wind Energy, 7 - Nuclear Energy

2. Add the pictures – make them pretty!!

3. Watch the videos for extra information!

4. Begin filling in the PROS and CONS if you have time.

To Do

1. Finish PROS/CONS list

2. Write Some Report Cards!!!1. Create 2 report cards for 2 alternative energy resources.

Assign them categories (ex: pollution, cost, efficiency, etc.) and give them a grade A-F. Add a comment for each grade explaining why they received it. Must have at least 4 categories per resource.

2. Example: Biomass (source) Land Use (category) D (grade) Biomass is a little greedy with his land use for growing the materials, and that land could be better used to grow food to feed the people. Please speak with Biomass about his tendency to take over things. (Comment)
