    purchased an Energy Star home in a newly developed community in Maryland. These types of homes can help homeowners reduce their energy usage by including proper sealing techniques‚ air barriers‚ increased isolation‚ programmable thermostats‚ low E windows and CFL bulbs. There are several different forms of energy I use throughout the year at home‚ work‚ and while traveling and the amounts of these energies I use varies with the different seasons. At home the main sources of energy used is the fossil

    Renewable energy is energy which comes from natural resources such as sunlight‚ wind‚ rain‚ tides‚ and geothermal heat‚ which are renewable (naturally replenished). About 16% of global final energy consumption comes from renewables‚ with 10% coming from traditional biomass‚ which is mainly used for heating‚ and 3.4% from hydroelectricity. New renewables (small hydro‚ modern biomass‚ wind‚ solar‚ geothermal‚ and biofuels) accounted for another 3% and are growing very rapidly. The share of renewables

    The two types of energy resources I chose were wind energy and biofuel energy. Wind energy uses turbines which convert the kinetic energy in the wind into mechanical power. This power can be used for a generator‚ a generator can convert this mechanical power into electricity to power homes‚ businesses‚ schools‚ and many others. Biofuel energy unlike other renewable energy sources can be converted directly into liquid fuels for our transportation needs usually found from dead plants and animals

    ON ALTERNATIVE SOURCES OF ENERGY The law of conservation says that energy is neither created nor destroyed. When we use energy‚ it doesn’t disappear. We change it from one form of energy into another. A car engine burns gasoline‚ converting the chemical energy in gasoline into mechanical energy. Solar cells change radiant energy into electrical energy. Energy changes form‚ but the total amount of energy in the universe stays the same. Scientists at the Department of Energy think they have discovered

    Energy of a Tossed Ball Project PURPOSE: The purpose for the students of the Energy of a Tossed Ball Lab involved learning how to measure the change in kinetic and potential energies as a ball moves in free fall. Since there is no frictional forces working on the ball the total energy will remain constant and the students will see how the total energy of the ball changes during free fall. HYPOTHESIS: 1. The ball has potential energy while momentarily at rest at the top of the path. 2
