RENEWABLE ENERGY SOURCES IN THE WORLD AND LITHUANIA

GYMNASIUM
CLASS 2
 PROBLEMS ASSOCIATED WITH NON
-RENEWABLE ENERGY

1.Every single cubic metre is needed to go

deep into the earth if we want to get gas or
oil.
2.The supply of coal, gas and natural gas is
rapidly decreasing while the prices are
increasing.
3.Enviromental pollution is a huge concern.
Due to the growth of humans agricultaral
activities nature has been put at risk.
What was the cause that people in the middle of the 20th
century started looking for new energy sources? (Give 3
-4 arguments)
 OBJECTIVES
1.Using the pictures in the coursbook
students will discuss renewable energy
sources and their importance.(Students
themselves will set the objective of the
lesson and figure out why it is important to
cover this topic).
2.While working in groups students will list
2-3 advantages and disadvantages of
wind, water, wave, tidal, geothermal and
sun energy.

 Biofuel plant
Kaunas region Biofuel
 Renewable energy resources
Advantages: Disadvantages:
- it renews -do not exist everywhere -
constantly not always available
-not perfect (expensive)
- it has less technology
negative effect on - difficult to accumulate
environment - destroys landscape
-it is safer
- it is available for
everyone
 Kruonis water plant
The only one among
Baltic countries
Two reservoirs:
upper and bottom
It uses others power
plants excess energy
It may keep working
fully 12 hours
Summary
In which place would
you recommend to
build a wind power
plant A,B ar C ?
Give two reasons:
1)
2)
 What are advantages and
disadvantagies?
-it renews constantly;
- it does not exist everywhere - not always
available
not perfect (expensive) technology
-it has less negative effect on environment
- it destroys landscape
-it is safer
- it is difficult to accumulate
-it is available for everyone
 Feedback/ reflection
Have we achieved the objectives of the
lesson? :
it has been interesting for me....
I have already known it but forgot ...
I was surprised by...
I dont understand, I need to review in the
coursebook...
I dont like.... because...
