Question

1.What does the Law of Conservation of Energy tells us?

2.Give an example of 1 way that heat is transferred in your home by conduction, convection and radiation.

3.What is the difference between renewable and nonrenewable resources?

4. Energyville has run out of fossil fuels and is in an energy crisis.  What is one type of renewable energy source that you might recommend to the mayor of Energyville and why do you think that it should be considered?

5. Develop an action plan that includes one specific way that you can conserve energy in your own home.

Answer 1

1. Energy can neither be created or destroyed.
2. Conduction. Putting a pot of water on a hot burner. Convection. Putting your wet shoes over an air vent to dry them quicker. Radiation. Sitting in front of the fire to warm your hands up.
3. renewable sources can be used again and again, but non renewable sources cannot.
4. I would recommend solar energy. I think solar energy should be considered because solar energy can be reused, and also because they can use it to power their houses and they wouldn't need fossil fuels to do so.
5. Turn off the lights and open the windows during the day and if something is left plugged into the wall and it is not being used, unplug it.

hope I could help!
