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
improve environment quality. Although nonrenewable energy resources are the main supplier to our energy system, they have many adverse effects on society and the economy. Nonrenewable energy resources, such as coal, petroleum, and natural gas, have become our main energy source for a long time. We are used to cheap electricity and gas stations at every corner; however, it comes with a price. The first and most important issue is to conserve. Eventually, all nonrenewable energy resources will be
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
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
hundred years old and the year is two thousand and fifteen (2015). The nation’s current energy situation is in bad shape. We have nearly depleted the planets resources of fossil fuels that are non-renewable. Energy4Me.org defines nonrenewable resources as are energy sources like petroleum, propane, natural gas, coal and nuclear power. These resources have taken millions of years to produce and cannot rejuvenate in shorter lengths of time. What I mean is there needs to be another form of renewable energy
population grows to the point where it extends past the limit, the environment no longer has the capacity to support them and individuals must die to stabilize the population. Humans are no exception to this rule, as their populations are constrained by such density dependent factors as the availability of food, land, and other resources. Growth in the human population in particular, profoundly worsens the effect on the environment as well, based on the IPAT equation which states that population directly
Impacts of an Energy Resource Plan Holly Regan SCI/275 September 14, 2014 Stacy Murphy Impacts of an Energy Resource Plan My dearest great-great grand-children: The finding of this letter explaining the best option for a long-term energy sustainability plan is no accident, and if you have opened a time capsule as directed, this letter is one hundred years old and the year is two-thousand and fourteen (2014). The nation’s current energy situation is in bad shape. We have nearly depleted
the Earth caused by the greenhouse effect due to the increased levels of carbon dioxide and other pollutants. There are many variables that are to be blamed for the cause of global warming. Because of rapid growth of population, people started industrializing and revolutionizing the way we live. In order to take care of the high demand of the needs of everybody, people started using and burning natural resources and fossil fuels. Overtime, these resources have been becoming even scarcer and
find new energy resources. Nowadays, many countries are reliant on energy from conventional sources like crude oil, natural gas, and coal. These sources are limited and they eventually will run out at some point in the future. Considering this fact and increasing demands for energy, the search for new energy resources is reasonable and it should be taken seriously. In recent years, renewable energy resources have proven as an interesting alternative to conventional energy resources. Renewable energy
