Digital Non-renewable energy video CP3f P1.40 P1.41 Describe the main energy sources available for use on Earth (including fossil fuels, nuclear fuel, bio-fuel, wind, hydro-electricity, the tides and the Sun), and compare the ways in which both renewable and sources are used Explain patterns and trends in the use of energy resources Write the phrase ‘NIMBY’ on the board and ask students if anyone knows what it means. If necessary, tell them that it stands for ‘not in my back yard’, and ask them to suggest why this phrase is often used when talking about people who are protesting against a new wind farm or other Students investigate the factors that affect the output of a solar cell, starting with the link between output current and the distance from the light source, then planning how to investigate a different factor. The voltage will reduce as the lamp is moved further away. Equipment solar cell, voltmeter (or multimeter), connecting wires, lamp, ruler, Discuss what happens to the demand for electricity when a very popular TV programme finishes or when there is an advert break (e.g. during a live cup final or a popular soap). Elicit the idea that lots of people all getting up to put the kettle on at once will cause a sudden demand. Ask students to suggest
