Week 3 Module 6 (5th LECTURE) Energy Resources

This document provides a lesson plan on energy resources for an Earth and Life Science class. It covers the objectives of identifying important minerals, how they are mined and processed, and environmental impacts. It discusses renewable and non-renewable resources. Fossil fuels like coal, petroleum and natural gas are described in detail in terms of their formation and uses. Alternative energy sources such as solar, geothermal, water, wind and nuclear energy are also outlined. Students will evaluate their understanding through multiple choice questions and a concept mapping activity.

UNIT 2: EARTH MATERIALS AND PROCESSES


LESSON 6: Energy Resources

I. Objectives:

1. Identify the minerals important to society ;


2. describe how ore minerals are found, mined, and processed for human use;
3. cite ways to prevent or lessen the environmental impact that result from the
exploitation, extraction, and use of mineral resources

II. Motivation (5 mins.): The teacher will share the big ideas about resources to the students:
1. People and other organisms use Earth’s resources for everyday living.
2. People use energy resources, most of which originate from the Sun, for everyday living.
3. The use of natural resources can impact Earth’s land, air, and water.

III. Lesson Proper: Energy Resources


I. Resources
 Limited
 Two categories:
 Renewable: can be replaced by nature at a rate close to the rate at which
they are used.
 Nonrenewable: renewed very slowly or not at all.
A. Renewable Resources
 Resources that can be replaced within a human’s lifetime
 Name a few resources that you think are considered renewable…

B. Non-renewable Resources
 Resources that cannot be replaced once they are used
 Name a few resources that you think are considered nonrenewable…

B. Formation of Ores
 Ores: Deposits of metals and non-metals that can be removed (mined) from the
crust profitably.
 Can you think of some examples?
 Examples of ORES:
 Pyrite
 Magnetite
 Hematite
 Galena
 Graphite
 Sulfur
 Gold
 Silver
 Copper
 Zinc
 Nickel
 Lead
 Platinum

II. Fossil Fuels


 organic in origin (formed from living things)
 nonrenewable
 may cause pollution
 relatively cheap
 easy to use
 What fossil fuels do you know of?
Examples of Fossil Fuels:
 Coal
 Petroleum
 natural gas

A. Coal

 Peat: brownish partially decomposed plant remains

 Lignite: water and gases squeezed out into a denser


material (brown coal)

 Bituminous Coal: formed as a result of pressure of more


deposited sediment above (soft coal)

 Anthracite: produced by extremely high temperatures


and pressure; the hardest of all coals

 Bituminous coal and anthracite consist of 80-


90% Carbon, and produce a great amount of
heat when they burn

A. Petroleum and Natural gas


 Petroleum and natural gas are mixtures of hydrocarbons
 Hydrocarbons formed from microorganisms that lived in oceans or lakes millions
of years ago
 Petroleum = oil = liquid hydrocarbons
 Natural gas = hydrocarbons in gaseous form
 Crude Oil: unrefined petroleum
 Petrochemical: chemicals derived from petroleum
 synthetic fabrics
 medicines
 tars
 waxes
 synthetic rubber
 insecticides
 chemical fertilizers
 detergents
 shampoos

III. Alternative Energy


A. Solar Energy
1. Passive Systems
 greenhouses or home windows
 no working parts
2. Active Systems
 solar collectors: glass boxes with tubes that
circulate water
 sun heats the water as it moves through the tubes

B. Geothermal Energy
 Energy from the heat of the Earth’s interior
 Where water flows through rock heated by magma
 Hot water (steam) results
 Creates source for huge supply of energy
 80% of homes in Iceland are heated geothermally.

C. Water and Wind Energy


1. Hydroelectric Energy: Energy made by moving water.
2. Energy from tides.
3. Energy from wind
C. Nuclear Energy

 1. Nuclear Fission: a heavy nucleus divides,


releasing large amounts of energy.
 Advantage:
 Does not produce carbon dioxide and other
greenhouse gases
 Disadvantages:
 High operating costs
 Concerns about radioactive wastes

 2. Nuclear Fusion: multiple atoms join together to


form a heavier nucleus
 The energy source of the future
 Process that provides the sun and stars with
energy to shine
 Has been used to produce nuclear bombs
 Not yet successfully controlled

D. Biomass

 Fuels derived from living things:


 Wood
 field crops
 fecal material
IV. Evaluation:
A. Test yourself:
Read each question and answer carefully. Try to answer all questions.
ANALOGY: Write your answers on the space provided. Write your answers in UPPERCASE.

1. Geothermal: Energy from the heat of the Earth’s interior; __________: Energy made by
moving water.

2. __________: soft coal; anthracite: hardest coal

3. __________: Lead in pencil is a mineral; talc and Muscovite: mineral in make-up

4. Petroleum: liquid hydrocarbons; __________: hydrocarbons in gaseous form.

5. __________: unrefined petroleum; petrochemical: chemicals derived from petroleum.

B. Performance Task:
Concept Mapping. Each students will make a graphic organizer regarding the topic. See
the sample below.

C. 1 Question A Day
Answer the 1QAD (1 Question a Day) given by the teacher.
1. In a developing country there is a great need for electricity. The electricity that is
generated often comes from fossil fuel power stations using out of date technologies.
Suggest why people in developing countries want access to electricity.

Cheating is a choice. Cheating is a crime. Therefore, when you choose to cheat, you choose to commit a crime.
