Energy Resources 01

Energy resources power our lives. In KS3 Science, pupils explore renewable and non-renewable sources, their uses, and the importance of sustainability for the planet’s future.

Fascinating Fact:

Geothermal energy comes from heat inside the Earth, sometimes close enough to make geysers.

In KS3 Science, pupils study how energy resources supply electricity, heat, and fuel. They compare fossil fuels with renewable sources like wind, solar, and geothermal energy, and consider their impact on the environment.

Key Terms

Renewable Energy: Energy from sources that do not run out, such as wind, sunlight, or water.
Fossil Fuels: Fuels like coal, oil, and gas formed from ancient plants and animals.
Sustainability: Using resources in a way that meets needs now without harming future generations.

Frequently Asked Questions (Click to see answers)

What are renewable energy resources in KS3 Science?

Renewable energy resources are sources that naturally replenish, such as solar power, wind, hydroelectric power, and geothermal energy.

Why are fossil fuels bad for the environment?

Fossil fuels release carbon dioxide when burned, which contributes to global warming, air pollution, and climate change.

What is the difference between renewable and non-renewable energy?

Renewable energy comes from sources that won’t run out, while non-renewable energy, like coal and oil, will eventually be used up.
