ENERGY
(PART 1)
BY MS RENUKA
 Learning objectives
At the end of the lesson, students will be able to:
• list uses of energy.
• state the sources of energy that been used globally.
• state the definition of fossil fuels.
• state the examples of fossil fuels.
• describe the formation of petroleum, natural gas and coal.
• explain the process of generating electricity using fossil fuels.
• state the definition of renewable and non-renewable energy.
• state the examples of renewable and non-renewable energy.
• differentiate renewable and non-renewable energy.
• explain the process of generating electricity from different source
of energy such as wind, water, sun, biomass and nuclear.

Nuclear power
• Nuclear energy is energy in the nucleus (core) of
an atom.
• It can be released from atoms in two ways:
nuclear fusion (combining)and nuclear fission
(splitting)
• Nuclear power plants use nuclear fission to
produce electricity.
• Nuclear energy comes from splitting atoms in a
reactor to heat water into steam, turn a turbine
and generate electricity.
• No carbon emissions
• Reactors use uranium, not fossil fuels
