C3.2: ENERGY OF THE FUTURE

TODAY'S GOALS

1. You are able to explain how 5 different types of sustainable energy work.
2. You can explain the what the energy transition means.
3. You can explain what the energy transition involves for the Netherlands.

RENEWABLE/SUSTAINABLE ENERGY SOURCES

ENERGY TRANSITION

The shift from using fossil fuels to using sustainable sources.

reNEWable energy sources

OPEN PARAGRAPH 2

IN YOUR COURSEBOOK

AND YOUR NOTEBOOK

ENERGY TRANSITION

The shift from using fossil fuels to using sustainable sources.

You can explain how 5 different types of sustainable energy work.

Open your GeoGuide at page 90-91 and answer this goal (G134). Explain per sustainable energy source how it works.

• Name the 5 kinds of sustainable energy.
• Give per source an explanation how it works.

            - how does it generate electricity?

• Give 1 advantage and 1 disadvantage of each

Finished? Make exercise 1 in your workbook.

SOLAR ENERGY

Electricity generated sustainably using solar penals.

You can also use the sun to heat water.

WIND ENERGY

Electricity generated sustainably using wind turbines.

HYDRO-ELECTRICITY

Sustainable energy that is generated using falling water.

TIDAL POWER PLANT

BIOMASS

Organic materials such as vegetable oils, wood and biodegredable waste (vegetables, fruit and garden waste).

GEOTHERMAL ENERGY

Sustainable energy from the natural heat deep inside the Earth.

 "Earth heat"

Let's go!

• Read C3.2: Energy in the future
•  Use G132 & 134
• Make 1, 2 & 3

Rules while working:

• You work alone and in silence
• Raise your finger if you have a question

This is also the homework for the next lesson.
