  9. Greatest Inventions with Bill Nye: Energy Greatest Inventions-Energy Nothing happens without energy. It powers every machine on Earth and is essential for virtually every activity. Civilization would be impossible without it. In the program, Bill Nye leads us on an electrifying journey to the sources of energy and the technology that enables us to tap into it and distribute it around the world. Topics covered include fossil fuels, internal combustion engines, nuclear power, and alternative energy sources like solar, wind, and hydroelectric power.

  10. Greatest Inventions with Bill Nye: Energy After viewing the program students will be able to: · Understand the history of energy use; · Understand the law of conservation of energy; · Understand the properties of matter; · Understand how chemical reactions release energy; · Understand the relationship between science and technology.

  11. Energy Activity What would your world be like without electricity, buses, cars, or heat? Can you imagine your life without energy? As an experiment, go through the school day, making a list of all the forms of energy you, your friends, and teachers use, then compare notes. As a follow-up to the connection above, think about Katy’s experiment to investigate solar power for a home. Review your list and determine what you can either delete or modify in order to conserve energy. Make a record of your progress without each item.

  12. Energy Activity There is a fear that we will eventually deplete our energy sources of coal and oil. Also, these particular resources pollute the environment by creating green house gases. As a matter of fact, we ourselves cause a big part of the pollution because of the cars we drive. Cars burn gasoline and release fumes, thereby releasing greenhouse gases into the atmosphere. For this reason, the automobile industry has been developing ways to use less gas and to be more efficient. They have developed hybrid cars and some electric cars. Research a few vehicles that are better for the environment. Pick which one you feel is the best and create an ad that would entice people to buy it. Have students present their ads to the class and see which car is voted best for the environment.
