Electricity is a source of energy that is produced by the flow of electrons through a conductor such as a wire, resulting in a flow of current. Renewable energy is energy generated from natural resources--such a sunlight,wind, rain, tides and geothermal heat--which are renewable. Non-renewable energy is energy produced from natural resources that cannot be produced or re-grown or reused at the rate we use them.

conductor such as a wire, resulting in a flow of current How is electricity made ? Using some sources of energy to move this handle...such as wind,solar etc ..... PACKED WITH COPPER WIRES AND MAGNET IN THE MIDDLE Solar energy Fossil energy Wind energy Hydro energy Nuclear energy Geothermal energy Biomass energy Tidal energy The solar panels uses PV [ photovoltaic] cells which is made of silicon ,traps The light from the sun producing electricity. Fossil fuels like coal is burnt in the power stations to heat the water which In turn produces steam which turns the turbines generating electricity. The strong winds move the turbine which In turn gives electricity Nuclear power
The uranium atoms reacts with neutrons to release
Very high energy .In the form of heat which used to generate electricity. GEOTHERMAL ENERGY
The men dig down under the earth, the boiling water is brought to the surface of the earth were they use the steam to generate electricity. BIOMASS ENERGY
ANIMALS POO AND PLANT WASTES SUCH AS
WOOD ARE BURNT TO GENERATE ELECTRICITY TIDAL ENERGY
ese turbines are moved by the strong tides and wav
ich helps to make electricity. RENEWABLE & NON-RENEWABLE SOURCES OF ENERGY What is renewable energy? Renewable energy is energy generated from natural resources—such a sunlight ,wind , rain, tides and geothermal heat—which are renewable What is non-renewable energy? Non –renewable energy is energy generated from natural resources that cannot be produced or re -grown or reused at the rate at which we use them e.g fossil fuels such as coal and petroleum and also nuclear fuels. ELECTRICITY & SAFETY Always pull the plug out and not by the cord Do not overload a circuit This can cause the socket to get hotter and hotter This creates a fire hazard Do not touch damaged plugs Unplug appliances before you clean them and when they are not in use. Do not poke small items into electrical appliances Keep water away from sockets and electrical appliances Spot the dangers in the next slide 1.Don’t play near power lines/pylons 2.Make sure when flying a kite not to do so next to a power line. 3.If the kite does become caught let go immediately and do not attempt to recover it. 4.Beware of electrical wires near trees 5.If electrical wires are brought down in a storm, do not touch them and call the electricity company urgently. 6.Don’t fly toys in rain or a storm as they may conduct electricity. Especially if hit by lightning. 1.Electricity leaves power plant. 2. Voltage is increased at a ‘step up’ substation. 3.Transmitted through a power line to the area where it needs to go. 4.The voltage is ‘stepped down’ once it reaches there. 5. from the second substation it is distributed via power lines- this may be underground or overhead. 6.It reaches our homes and workplaces.
