True

Name 3 types of renewable energy (energy that is not harmful to the environment)

Example: Solar energy, geothermal energy, moving water, biomass

Name 3 types of non-renewable energy (energy that can't be replaced once used)

Example: burning of fossil fuels (coal, oil and natural gas), nuclear energy

What do we call energy produced by the sun that is very important for the biosphere?

Light energy

What do we call energy produced by the movement of tiny particles within an object?

Thermal energy, or heat

What do we call the stored energy that is released when a chemical reaction takes place?

Chemical energy

What do we call energy made by vibrations?

Sound energy

What energy is used by machines? Why?

Electrical energy because it can be transformed into many different forms

What do we call the energy stored in objects?

Potential energy

What type of energy is produced by movement?

Kinetic energy

Give an example of energy transformation

E.g. When wood burns, chemical energy is transformed into light and thermal energy. E.g. A toaster transforms electrical energy into thermal energy

What does renewable energy mean?

Energy sources that will never run out. Most sources do not cause pollution and are not harmful to the environment.

What is this? What does it do?

Turbines. It produces mechanical energy and converts it into electrical energy

What is this? What does it do?

Solar panel. It transfers solar energy into electrical energy.

What type of energy is this?

Geothermal energy
