Renewable Energy

Aim: To make a presentation that investigates different renewable energy's.

This can be done on paper and uploaded or on a drawing program on your device. I do not want any Internet images or pictures. They must be hand-drawn using a ruler and labelled.

1. Hydro Energy: Hydro energy refers to the conversion of energy, and another way is from flowing water into electricity.

2. Solar Energy: If your house roof has solar panels, it is a device that converts light energy into electrical energy, and if you can't use all the energies, you can reserve the energy in a solar battery, and when you need it will give your house energy again.

3.Wind Energy: Wind turbines convert the kinetic energy in the wind into mechanical power a generator can convert mechanical power into electricity.

4.Wave Energy: Wave energy is the transport and capture of energy by ocean surface waves the energy captured is then used for all different kinds of useful work, including electricity.

Section 3; Investigate each of the 4 Energy Types.
(Hydro, Solar, Wind, Wave ) 


1. Type: Hydro energy, Approximately 80% of electricity comes from renewable energy, primarily hydropower and geothermal power.

2. Is it used in NZ? 

Yes.

3. Other Countries that use it? 

The United States leads the world in hydroelectric dams, mostly due to its high level of technology and the plentiful supply of rivers, Canada, Brazil, and China also produce a large amount of hydroelectricity.

4. How is it used to generate electricity?  

Hydro energy refers to the conversion of energy, and another way is from flowing water into electricity.

5. Draw and label a diagram of the main parts of the electricity generator?

Section 4: Renewable Energy in the future.

List 10 ways that renewable energy will be used in the future to replace our current activities.

1. Solar energy can replace our solar energy car, and solar energy car doesn't need to use oil.

2. Solar energy and wind energy can give energy to the TV.

3. Solar energy can give energy to the hot water.

4. Solar energy can give energy to the light.

5. Solar energy can give energy to the street light.

6. Solar energy can give the energy to wind power.

7. Hydro energy can help plants use dams to create reservoirs where the water is stored.

8. Wave energy can be pumping of water.

9. Wind energy can preserve water resources.

10. Wind energy can save 260 billion gallons.
