__**Research Part 1**__


 * ===Visit resource 1 and watch the short video.===

**Explain** at least 3 different sources of energy that people use to generate electricity.
||
 * One way that people generate electricty is geothermal energy. You generate it by putting water under a hot surface of the earth. The water turns into steam which rises and makes the turbine spin. Another way to generate electricity is solar powered energy. Solar power energy is when you have solar panels and they reflect the sun off of them onto waterpipes which makes steam rise.Wind energy works by wind turning a turbine that generates electricity. ||


 * ===Using [|resource 2], read the information written about renewable energy.===

**Describe** what a renewable source of energy is. **Give** at least 2 examples of different forms of renewable energy.
||
 * One source of renewable energy is biomass. Biomass is a renewable source of energy because you can generate it quickly. Another renewable resourse is hydropower because we can generate it quickly. We generate it when you have a dam and the water rushes from the high side to the low side. ||


 * ===Read the information from resource 9 looking for information about nonrenewable energy and examples of nonrenewable energy.===

**Describe** what a nonrenewable source of energy is. **Give** at least two examples of nonrenewable sources of energy.
|| These resources are non-renewable because they take over 100 million years to reprouduce. ||
 * Non-renewable energy takes a long period of time to prodouce. These are some exaples that follow that rule:
 * Urainum
 * Natural Gas
