Population Increase• We came up with three main factors we need to address:• Food• Water• Energy

Energy• From our “Meteorite Lab” we decided on a definition for Energy.• Energy is the ability to cause a change.• In our every day lives….we use energy to power all of our devices that

we take for granted.

Energy Research Project• Here are a few things we need to address:• How does your particular energy “source” transform one

type of energy to another type of energy (how does it work)?• What are some positives?• What are some negatives?• What percentage of the energy used in the United States is

this type? Worldwide?• What is your opinion on this…should we be using more or

less of this particular type of energy “source”? Why?

• Here are our energy source choices:• Wind• Solar• Coal• Hydro• Nuclear• Geothermal• Natural Gas• Biomass

Energy Research Project

Energy Research Project• Your Power Point should answer these questions:• How does your particular energy “source” transform one type of energy to

another type of energy (how does it work)?• What are some positives?• What are some negatives?• What percentage of the energy used in the United States is this type?

Worldwide?• What is your opinion on this…should we be using more or less of this

particular type of energy “source”? Why?

Energy Research Project• What you need:• A works cited list• Power Point slides

• These Power Point slides should contain your research information on them and should be plainly formatted.

• Help each other out with how to make the Power Point. I’ll be back next week to help you finish it up.
