Back to: Unit 1: Forces, Motion and Energy
In this lesson, we will learn about energy resources, how electrical energy is generated, advantages and disadvantages, and renewable vs non-renewable energy, in terms of:
- Fossil fuels
- Biofuels
- Wave energy
- Tidal energy
- Hydroelectric energy
- Geothermal energy
- Nuclear energy
- Solar energy
- Wind energy
We also learn about:
- Generating electrical energy from resources
- Generating electrical energy from resources using steam engine
As well as:
- The Sun is the main source of energy except for tidal, nuclear, and geothermal
- Comparing the different energy resources in terms of renewability, availability, reliability, scalability and environment impact
- That the Sun generates energy through nuclear fusion
