Summary
Non-renewable energy resources are those that cannot be reused or restored once used. Students learn about their types, impacts and the science behind them.
Types of non-renewable energy
Fossil fuels, nuclear energy and natural gas are examples. These resources form over hundreds of years and are not easily replaced.
Impacts of non-renewable energy
Excessive use leads to shortages. It also causes air and land pollution. Countries with large oil reserves supply much of the world's oil.
The scientific approach
Science involves systematic problem solving. Steps include comprehension, analysis, formulating alternatives, implementation and monitoring.
Reflections on energy use
The document reflects on the need to reduce reliance on non-renewable energy. It suggests turning to more natural resources such as solar energy.
