CHEMICAL ENERGY CONVERSIONS
1. Chemical energy in food is converted to ………
2. Mechanical energy when you are moving,
3. Heat as a result of the movement to maintain
body temperature (homeostasis)
I think
therefore
I convert
energy
Chemical to ?
Lighting: electricallightheat
WATER
WIND
GEOTHERMAL BIOMASS
Renewable Resources:
1. Water- rivers (dams)
a. Hoover Dam- Nevada
2. Wind- moving air (windmills)
b. Great Plains
3. Geothermal- hot springs, geysers (inside Earth)
c. Yellowstone, parts of KY
4. Biomass- corn, ethanol, vegetable oils, wood
d. Everywhere
Nonrenewable Resources – cannot be replaced
after use or takes millions of years to replace.
Natural Gas
Coal
SUN!!! Petroleum
(Oil)
Non Renewable Resources:
1. Coal- fossilized plants and animals (power plants)
a. KY, VA, WV
2. Natural Gas- gas deposits in the Earth (pipelines)
b. Great Plains
3. Petroleum- hot springs, geysers (oil rigs)
c. Gulf of Mexico, Middle East
4. Sun- radiant energy (solar panels)
d. Everywhere
COMPLEX
ENERGY CONVERSIONS
Many simple energy conversions put
together.
Converting energy from the sun to
make it available for use at your home.
Complex Energy Conversions
All energy originates (starts) with the
SUN!!!!
HOW CAN WE MAKE ENERGY FROM THE SUN
USEABLE????
How can we use the light energy given from the sun on
earth?

NUCLEAR ENERGY
Nuclear power plants do the same job as
fossil fuel powered plants. They use
nuclear energy to power the turbines that
make the electricity.
Solar Energy
Light energy from the Sun is converted to electrical
energy for use in our homes.
