WHAT IS ENERGY? THIS NON-FICTON BOOK IS ABOUT ENERGY LETS START OF WITH WHAT IS ENERGY? ENERGY IS WHAT LETS YOU GET UP IN THE MORNING,GET DRESSED AND WALK TO SCHOOL. ENERGY CAN COME IN DIFFERENT WAY THE SUN GIVE OUT ENERGY AND MOVEMENT ENERGY IN THE WIND IS WHAT MAKES WINDMILLS TURN.
ENERGY FROM THE SUN? THE SUN IS A HUGE BALL OF HOT GASES. THE SUN RELEASES HUGE AMOUNT OF ENERGY AS HEAT AND LIGHT. WITHOUT THE SUN HEATS AND LIGHT OUR PLANET TODAY THAT WE LIVE ON WOULD BE FREEZING COLD AND NOTHING WOULD BE ABLE TO LIVE ON IT. :EXTRA FACT THE AMOUNT OF ENERGY RELEASED BY THE SUN IS A HUNDRED THOUSAND BILLION TIME MORE THAN THE LARGEST COAL FIRED POWER STATION IN EUROPE.
BIOMASS ENERGY?BIOMASS ENERGY COME FROM PLANTS. IF WE BURN PLANTS IT RELEASES ENERGY WHICH WE CAN USE TO MAKE ELECTRICITY. THIS BOOK IS GOOD BECAUSE IT TELL USE ALL ABOUT ENERGY AND IF WE DIDNT HAVE ENERGY WE WOULD ALL BE DEAD BECAUSE THE SUN SENDS OUT THE MOST. IF WE DIDNT HAVE SUN THEY WOULD BE NO LIVE IN ANY THINK, WHILE I WAS READING THIS BOOK I SAW A INTERESTING FACT:COAL IS MADE OF CARBON. CARBON GIVES OUT ALOT OF ENERGY WHEN IT BURNS. COAL MAKES ONE THIRD OF THE WORLDS ELECTRICITY. BUT THERE IS ONLY ENOUGH COAL LEFT TO LAST ANOTHER 400 YEARS AND THIS INSPIRED ME BECAUSE I WONDER IF THERE IS ACTUALLY ENOUGH TO LAST US.
WIND ENERGY
WIND IS ALSO A RENEWABLE ENERGY RESOURCE. THE KINETIC ENERGY IN THE WIND CAN BE USED TO MOVE OR DRIVE ANY MACHINE
DID YOU KNOW THE HUGE AMUNT OF ENERGY IN A HURRICANE FORCE WINDS CAN RIP UP TREES,DAMAGE BUILDING,AND THROW CARS ABOUT.
WHERE DOES THE WIND COME FROM?
THE SUN HEATS UP LAND. THE WARM LAND HETS THE AIR ABOVE IT, AND THE WARMED AIR STARTS TO RISE. IN OTHER PARTS OF THE WORLD, AIR IS COOLING DOWN AND SINKING. THE COOL AIR MOVES ACROSS HE LAND TO TAKE PLACE OF THE RISING WARM AIR. THIS MOVEMENT OF AIR ACROSS THE LAND IS CALLED WIND.
AMAZING FACTS Only 10% of energy in a light bulb is used to create light. Ninety percent of a light bulb’s energy creates heat. Compact fluorescent light bulbs on the other hand, use about 80% less electricity than conventional bulbs and last up to 12 times as long.Refrigerators in the U.S. consume about the same energy as 25 large power plants produce each year.There are two basic groups of energy: renewable energy (biomass, geothermal, solar, water, and wind power) and nonrenewable (fossil fuels coal, oil, natural gas, nuclear). Three quarters of the world’s energy is generated by burning fossil fuels 4.Enough sunlight reaches the earth’s surface each minute to satisfy the world’s energy demands—for an entire year.5. he amount of energy Americans use doubles every 20 years.review of the book the think i liked about this books is that it taught me thing i didn’t know and if we didn’t have energy we would not be alive because nothing would be able to grow or there be no food and water, if we didn’t have he sun everything would be dead even us to we are thankful to have the sun in the book i saw something a man said that one day we will run out of fossil fuels and there is something we can do to make it last longer.fossil fuels is like coal oil and natural gas store energy. hydroelectric power stations use the energy in moving water to make electricity.
