My artifact was a flip project designed for students so that they could learn about nonrenewable resources and how their uses affect the environment. This flip went along with the Illinois Learning Standard for Science 4-ESS3-1, “To obtain and combine information to describe that energy and fuels are derived from natural resource and their uses affect the environment.” I completed this artifact in August of 2014. I did a SMARTBoard lesson flip project and recorded it in a video so that students
causing it and the effects on the environment. Because such a large number of people are concerned for the Earth and the environment, a massive drive for the use of renewable resources rather than nonrenewable resources exists in the world. However, why do these people, including scientists and environmentalists, feel so strongly about bringing a change? Due to the damaging effects of using fossil fuels and nonrenewable resources on Earth, there is a motive to switch to renewable resources, such as solar
alternative to the environment as it produces no greenhouse gases and uses no nonrenewable resources to produce its power. Although there are many benefits to nuclear energy, the power plants of which the power is produced in must be run in an orderly function- with consequences of mistreatment leading to disastrous situations with the potential affecting many. Despite the fact mishandling nuclear power can lead to catastrophe, nuclear power has many benefits on the environment due to the idea fact
Primary disadvantage of nonrenewable energy is pollutions. When we are mining, processing, and consuming nonrenewable energy, we are causing negative effect on our environment. In addition to environmental factors, the disadvantages of nonrenewable energy resources also include problems posed for human health. Coal dust can also cause other diseases related to the byproducts and pollution involved
goes for other forms of nonrenewable resources that help power items in our everyday lives. Nonrenewable sources will eventually run out and so will a lot of our ways of receiving energy. With today’s technological advances, alternative energy has become better equipped to provide us with other alternatives options of energy. These renewable forms of energy are more efficient and will always be there to provide us with our surplus of energy. The high usage of nonrenewable energy has caused problems
Investigating whether a renewable fuel produces the same level of energy as an equivalent amount of nonrenewable fuel would be beneficial to help save Earth’s natural resources and is a very relevant and important science project. The purpose of this project is to figure out which type of fuels is most efficient. In my science project, I will be burning various types of renewable fuels and non- renewable fuels and comparing the duration that they burn and comparing the temperature that they burn
The Future of Nonrenewable Sources Nonrenewable sources of energy have effect many Americans. Every time a person turns on their vehicle and travel to certain destinations they use up gas. Every three to four months a vehicle needs an oil change. Other than the amount of materials being consume is the high prices people have to pay to get these materials. Oil and coal are to important nonrenewable resource, which means that they cannot be replaced quickly. Science and technology are changing quickly
been readily growing in tandem. Unfortunately, a majority of energy used to supply this ever growing demand for power is nonrenewable . Ever since the Industrial Revolution in the early 1800’s, people have been reliant on coal, oil and various other non-renewable energies with little regard to the long term implications. Not only will we run out of all of our nonrenewable resources, we will gravely damage the world's ecosystems if we continue to output the amount of pollutants we currently emit. The
sound like the next best American revolution, making scarce resources of oil into an abundance through safe and harmless extraction or fracking can be made out to sound like the sole contributor of respiratory, sensory, and neurological damages to the people that drink the groundwater water close the fracking wells. The “for fracking” arguments combats their side with explanations of what they are doing is not harming the environment. The additives to what is being pumped into the ground to
overpopulation of humans is causing destructive impacts on the environment and a high demand for resources. One destructive impact would be climate change because of the exceeding rate of humans, causing pollution in the air. While the Earth is having a tough time sustaining particular resources, the high demand causes the earth to force to get its nonrenewable resources. Overpopulation can lead to dangerous impacts of pollution, depleted resources, habitat loss, etc. Overpopulation is a controversial topic
