Standards:

PO1: Analyze various forms of nonrenewable energy

PO2: Support a position on a science or technology issue

Objectives:

What would happen if we ran out of fossil fuels tomorrow?!

Hurricane Sandy

Back to the Stone Age!

The remains of ancient organisms that changed into coal, oil and natural gas!

What are fossil fuels?

How do we get energy out of fossil fuels?

What about natural gas?

OIL?

Our choice of fuels and our dependence on them has huge economical and environmental consequences!

Post-it on the door! Write…one thing you were confused about, didn’t understand, had a question about or would like to learn regarding nonrenewable energy

Today’s OUT: (5-8 sentences)Presidential Candidate Mitt Romney firmly

supports the construction of the Keystone XL pipeline, a pipeline running from Canada to Texas that would transport thousands of barrels of crude oil to the United States and across the globe every day. He argues that the pipeline would create jobs and lower the cost of oil; However, President Obama argues that the pipeline would have negative effects on the environment, and that we should focus on investing in renewable energy instead. Write a brief letter (5-8 sentences) persuading whomever you disagree with to change their mind.

Nobody begins to pack up until the buzzer sounds!

Work quietly and productively on your OUTS and Post-its!

Better technology

Carbon capture and storage

Low sulfur coal

How do you burn coal cleaner?

China does not have freedom of press

Oil: 46 years (depleted in 2055)

Natural gas: 63 years (depleted in 2072)

Coal: 119 years (depleted in 2128)

When will we run out of nonrenewable resources?

How do we produce different things with oil?

What are some factors that can influence the value of fuel?

CostSafetyAvailabilityByproducts of the fuel’s use

Energy Content

5 main factors

How do we get electricity from fossil fuels?

Fossil FuelsElectricityTurbineSteamHeatGenerator

How do we get energy out of fossil fuels?

A machine that converts mechanical energy (motion) into electricity.

They move an electrically conductive material in a magnetic field.

Electric Generator

A wheel that changes the force of moving gas or liquid into energy

Turbine

Do people in the U.S. use less energy than those in developing countries?

The United States uses more energy per person than any other country in the world, except Canada and the United Arab Emirates!

Do we use more energy than people in Japan?

How does coal form?

Coal forms from the remains of plants in swamps hundreds of millions of years ago

What does oil and natural gas form from?

Oil and natural gas form from the remains of marine animals that lived in the ocean

It will take 1000 years to replace the oil used by humans in just one day!

Do fossil fuels release pollutants when they are burned?

Nitrogen monoxideSulfur dioxideCarbon dioxideCarbon monoxide

Fossil fuels release pollutants such as…
