WORKSHEET: 1

ENERGY CARDS

GASIt takes millions of years for natural gas to be formed.

Gas has no smell but an odour is added so that a gas leak can be easily identified.

Natural gas is lighter than air.

SOLARSolar power comes from the sun.

It is the energy source of all life on Earth.

The sun is so powerful that in just one hour it makes enough energy to meet the world’s energy demands for a whole year.

WINDNearly 1% of electricity is generated by the wind in Britain.

The amount of electricity produced by a wind turbine depends on the speed of the wind.

Wind is widely available and a free source of fuel.

COALCoal is a fossil fuel.

Fossil fuels are natural substances made within the earth from dead animals and plants. They take millions of years to form.

When coal is burnt it gives off gases that are harmful to the environment and pollute the atmosphere.

NUCLEARNuclear power generation does not produce carbon dioxide.Nuclear power produces around 18% of the UK’s electricity needs from very small amounts of fuel.*Some of the waste created by nuclear energy is very radioactive and it must be kept for 1000s of years in a safe place.

HYDRO-ELECTRICITY As water flows down rivers to the sea, the force of the water drives a turbine and this produces electricity.Hydro-electricity is one of the oldest sources of energy. It has been used for over 2,000 years.In the 1870’s, a country house in Northumberland became the first house in the world to be lit using hydro-electric power.

OILOil is now one of the main fuels used for transport around the world.

However, oil can be used for many other things like heating our homes and to make everyday things such as plastic and medicine.

There is only a limited supply of oil.

BIOMASSBiomass means natural material.

Biomass energy is made from natural materials like trees and plants but it is also created from waste that people throw out.

Cow manure is a form of biomass energy because animal waste gives off methane gas!

MAKE YOUR OWN WINDMILLNAME:YOUR MISSION:You will need: scissors, plasticine, a pencil, a drawing pin and a square piece of paper about 15cm by 15cm

WINDMILL CHALLENGEHow many different ways can you use your turbine? Try blowing the blades. What happens?

Take your windmill into the school playground. Can you find the windiest area? Can you find the most sheltered area (the place with the least amount of wind)?

Your windmill is now ready!

PART 5:

did you knowThe UK has the best wind resource in Europe!

PART 1 PART 4PART 2 PART 3

On the paper draw two lines from each diagonal corner. Where the two lines cross, make a hole with your pencil, using plasticine underneath to protect the table.

PART 1:

Draw a 2cm circle in the middle of the paper and then cut down the 4 lines up to the edge of the circle. Using the pin, carefully make a hole in the top left corner of each of the 4 flaps.

PART 2:

Take the left hand corner with the hole and carefully curl this towards the centre hole and secure it with the drawing pin. Repeat this for the other 3 flaps. All need to be secured with the same pin.

PART 3:

Push the windmill into your pencil. Make sure there is enough room between the pencil and the windmill so that the wheel is free to turn around.

HOW TO MAKE A SOLAR OVEN NAME:YOUR MISSION:You will need: 1 box (pizza boxes are best), a ruler, thick black paper, scissors, thick plastic, a pen, aluminium foil, tape, a drinking straw, a bowl of water, a thermometer and of course a nice sunny day!

Cut out a piece of foil to fit the bottom and sides of the box, shiny side facing out. Tape this into place. Cut the thick black paper so it is large enough to cover the foil and tape this into place over the top.

PART 1:

Close the box and on the lid mark a square that is at least 5cm away from the edges. Cut along 3 edges but leave one edge uncut as this will act as the hinge for the solar oven door. Carefully fold the flap open along the uncut line. Cover the side of the flap that faces into the box with foil, shiny side out and smooth out any wrinkles.

PART 2:

Open the original box top so that you can see the underside of the lid. The hole that has been created by the new oven door needs to be sealed. Take the thick plastic and tape this over the hole. This must be taped securely so no air can get into the box and cool the oven down.

PART 3:

Now find some sun! In a flat spot open the original box lid and place a large piece of foil in the middle and put your water bowl on top. Close the lid of the box and open the oven flap door. Use the drinking straw to prop the oven door open.

PART 4:

The solar door MUST always be facing the sun. At regular intervals take the temperature of the water. Be careful as the temperature could get very hot. Record your findings.

MAKE A POTATO CLOCKNAME:YOUR MISSION:Under SupervisionUnder Supervision you will need: 2 common galvanized nails, 3 alligator clip-wires, 2 short pieces of heavy copper wire, a simple low-voltage LED clock unit and 2 potatoes.

Open the back of the clock and take out the batteries. There is a positive (+) and a negative (-) indicator where the battery was installed.

Number your potatoes as potato one and potato two. Mark this on their skin in pen so there can be no mix up.

Take the galvanized nails and put one nail in each potato.

Insert a copper wire into the potatoes – one in each. This must be placed as far away from the nail as possible.

PART 1:

Using an alligator clip-wire connect the copper wire that has been inserted into potato one to the positive terminal of the clock.

Connect another alligator clip-wire to the nail in potato two and connect the other end to the negative terminal in the clock.

PART 2:

Connect the nail in potato one to the copper wire in potato two with the last alligator clip-wire.

Your clock is now ready to be set.

WATT IS RIGHT?Lots of things in our homes need electricity to work. The amount of electrical power an appliance uses is measured in WATTS (W) or KILOWATTS (KW). The higher the wattage of an appliance, the more expensive it is to run depending on how long it is used for.

YOUR MISSION:Below are 12 electrical appliances. Can you cut out and put the items in order starting with the one that uses the least amount of power first.

Remember1000 watts (W) of electricity is the same as 1 kilowatt (kW).

1000W = 1kW

WORK-OUT THE ENERGYNAME:

POWER: We measure the amount of electrical power an appliance uses in watts (W) or kilowatts (kW).

ENERGY: We work out how much electrical energy is used by multiplying the power of the appliance by the number of hours it is used for. This gives us the amount of energy used.

In your workbook, answer the following questions:

Which appliance used the most amount of electrical energy?

Which appliance used the least amount of electrical energy?

If you used energy saving light bulbs rather than ordinary ones, how much energy would you save?

YOUR MISSION: Can you work out how much electrical energy is used by each appliance?

PLANNING PERMISSION: ROLE-PLAY CARDSLOCALCOUNCILLOR

Is the site suitable? If it’s a big development, some people may feel it spoils the views.

How does the local community feel about it?

Wind energy is good because it does not produce carbon dioxide.

It’s important for the UK to have a balanced ‘energy mix’. This means not relying too heavily on just one or two energy sources.

ENVIRONMENTALIST

Wind energy is clean. It causes no pollution.

Wind is a natural source and therefore will not run-out.

The UK has the best wind resource in Europe.

We need to save our Earth.

NORMAL MEMBER OFTHE LOCAL COMMUNITY

I think they are a good idea but I’m worried they are noisy and ugly.

I think they probably cost too much money.

What will happen on the days when there is little or no wind? Will I still get electricity?

FARMER

It’s a good use of land.

Wind turbines are actually quieter than many people think.

I don’t think they spoil the landscape at all.
