Understanding Wind and Solar Energy: A Study on Renewable Resources

In this activity, students will explore the mechanisms and advantages of renewable energy sources such as wind and solar power. Participants will answer key questions regarding wind behavior, photosynthesis, and tidal energy, engaging in critical thinking about the implications of these energy sources. Students will also work in groups to create an action plan and presentation for their findings, focusing on the advantages and disadvantages of wind and tidal energy. This hands-on learning experience promotes collaboration and environmental awareness.

Presentation Transcript

  1. Question(s) of the Day • Answer the following questions on a piece of paper and put your name at the top. You have 8 minutes to complete the questions of the day. Good luck!

  2. Do winds generally blow in a straight line from a high-pressure area to a low-pressure area. Why? • 2) True or false? Explain your answer. -Photosynthesis in plants plays a major role in stabilizing temperatures on Earth.

  3. Answers • No, they deviate because of the Coriolis effect, which is caused by the rotation of the Earth. 2) True. Plants absorb CO2 during photosynthesis, reducing the greenhouse effect.

  4. Chapter 7 – p.238-245 • Energy Resources (Wind Energy) • The effect of the Sun and the Moon on the Earth • Solar Energy • Tides (Tidal Energy) • FL 6.9 • Questions

  5. **Wind Energy is the energy that can be drawn from the wind. (Wind Turbines)

  6. Question?: Name two advantages and two disadvantages of wind power.

  7. Advantages: • It depends on a renewable form of energy. 2) It does not emit greenhouse gases. • Disadvantages: • Wind turbines may ruin the beauty of a landscape. 2) Wind blows intermittently.

  8. ** Solar Energy is the energy that comes from the sun in the form of radiation through the atmosphere.

  9. Question? In what form does solar energy reach the Earth?

  10. In the form of radiation energy (electromagnetic waves)

  11. ** A Tide is the rise and fall of water in the seas and oceans. It is caused by the gravitational force of the moon.

  12. ** Tidal Energy is the energy obtained from the ebb and flow of tides.

  13. Question Name two advantages and two disadvantages of tidal power.

  14. Advantages: • It depends on a renewable form of energy. 2) It does not emit greenhouse gases. Disadvantages: • Tidal power plants are very expensive to build. • The plants must be able to draw on a large tidal range.

  15. FL 6.9 Moon and tides

  16. Action Plan • Groups maximum 3 people • Presenting first class after spring break • Can do a powerpoint, movie, pictures, talk, poster  show proof (5 minutes) • Must get teacher signature for plan before continuing • Update action plan from list

  17. QofD • Ppt • FL 6.9 • Action Plan • Concept review 32 & 33 • Earth part 2

  18. Read pages 239-242 of textbook and answer questions on page 127 of workbook (concept review 32) • Read pages 243-245 of textbook and answer questions on page 129 of workbook (concept review 33)
