Introduction

WHAT IS THE ENERGY?

WE NEED ENERGY TO RUN, TO TRAVEL, TO
WORK DEFINITELY, TO DO MANY THINGS

In our homes and offices

we need ELECTRICITY

In the countryside the tractors and other

machines
need PETROL

Factories and power plants

need ELECTRICITY

Buses, cars and motorbikes

Trains run
on
need PETROL

ENERGY AND
ENERGY TRANSFER

HEAT ENERGY
We can feel it in
a fireplace

LIGHT ENERGY
We can see it in
lamps, candles

CHEMICAL
ENERGY
It exists in food,
fuel and living
things

KINETIC ENERGY
It is produced by
things in
movement

ELECTRIC ENERGY
We can see it
during a storm

SOUND
ENERGY
It produces

SOURCES OF ENERGY

They can be renewable or nonrenewable

WIND ENERGY
We use wind turbines
to transform wind into
energy.

SOLAR ENERGY
- Heat water and
produce
electricity.
- Light from the
sun is collected
SOURCESby solar panels
and transformed

HYDROELECTRIC
ENERGY
Water flows through
turbines to create
electricity

RENEWABLE ENERGY

COAL
- Its extracted from
mines.
- We burn it to
produce heat and
electricity.

produce heat and
electricity.
NON-RENEWABLE
ENERGY SOURCES

The most important one comes from fossil fuels.

We use them faster than we can produce them.

CONSEQUEN
CES OF
WASTING
ENERGY
Every time we use energy,
it has an impact on our
natural environment.

Sometimes oil can spill

into the sea.

This contaminates
water

CONSEQUENCES OF WASTING ENERGY

When we burn fossil fuels,

we release harmful
chemicals into the air

CONSEQUENCES OF WASTING ENERGY

Solar panels, wind farms and

man-made reservoirs change
the natural landscape.

This causes
problems for
animals and

plants.

HOW CAN WE HELP SAVE

ENERGY?

TURN OFF
any
electrical
computer that
you are no
longer using.

Whenever
possible,
WALK,
CYCLE OR
TAKE THE
BUS.

TURN OFF
the light
when nobody
is in the room.

CLOSE THE
DOOR AND
WINDOWS if
the heating is
on.

- FROM CHEMICAL TO HEAT ENERGY.
- FROM ELECTRIC TO HEAT ENERGY.

Which type of energy

do you use more
often during a day?
RENEWABLE OR NONRENEWABLE?

Think of two actions we can do in order

to save energy.
