solutions of copper compounds by displacement using scrap iron or by electrolysis. 4.8.2.4 Non-renewable resources of energy include: coal oil natural gas nuclear fuel A renewable energy resource is one that is (or can be) replenished as it is used. Example of renewable energy resources include: plants that provide biofuel wind turbines hydroelectricity tidal barrages or undersea turbines solar panels that produce electricity or heat water. Describe the main energy resources available for use on Earth (including fossil fuels, nuclear fuel, biofuel, wind, hydroelectricity, the tides and the Sun). Compare the ways in energy resources are used. Distinguish between renewable and non- renewable resources. 1 Define renewable energy resource and give examples. Define non-renewable energy resource and give examples. Explain the advantages and disadvantages of each type of energy resource with respect to other sources, eg the advantages and disadvantages of coal over nuclear power. Role-play a meeting between a group of local councillors/MPs, local environmental groups and electricity companies trying to get a new power station built. Which type of power station would each group want? How persuasive are each group in getting their choice? Investigations into output of a wind turbine or solar cell. Research the different of energy resources that are available to generate electricity. For each type of energy resource find the environmental impacts. Explain why each type of energy resource is used to generate electricity even though it does have these environmental impacts. Video clip
