Hello Division 3,
I want to give the class a big applause once again for working so well together and doing such an amazing job on the Week 1 Science of Energy Challenge! The Buckingham Palace Bears are currently leading the scoreboard. Keep up the good work!
Please prepare for Week 2’s challenge on Tue, Oct. 8th by reviewing the content we learned in class. Here is the Electricity Around the World Slide Show.
Topics you should study include:
(1) types of renewable resources (solar, wind, hydro, geo-exchange) and their fun facts
(2) types of non-renewable resources/fossil fuels (oil, coal, natural gas) and their fun facts
(3) negative impacts of non-renewable resources
(4) 74% of the world’s electricity is currently created with non-renewable resources / which one is used the most
(5) 67% of Canada’s electricity is currently created with renewable resources / which one is used the most
(6) 90% of B.C.’s electricity is made from hydroelectric dams
Here is the link to the video about how geo-exchange energy works for a nice recap.
Have fun reviewing and have a good weekend!
Ms. Liu
