Activity 3: QUESTIONS ABOUT ENERGY

1. Renewable sources are replenished naturally while non-renewable

sources are not. Non-renewable sources are limited and it will take a
long time for its to be replenished
2. There is no risk or an evidence that renewable source of energy hurt
someone unless people will used this for their personal interest.
3. Electricity, because of this students might do their homework even
during night.
Activity 3: MORE QUESTIONS ABOUT ENERGY
1. Renewable and non-renewable sources of energy make our work convenient. For
example electricity, without electricity we can’t use our lightings, appliances and
also our gadgets.

2. Non-renewable source are limited and we always hear in the news that petroleum
increase again its fair. Well, the supply of this is limited that is why too much using
of non-renewable sources might create an economic impact and same as to our
society.
3. Petroleum, because of this it can start a vehicles. And transportation is important
for the students to go in their schools.

Activity 3: #ASKME

1. There are many ways in harnessing the energy. From a potential energy converts to
kinetic energy. For example, burning fossil fuels will convert to electricity and heat
and another example is the hydrothermal energy. It works by piping a hot steam
from underground reservoirs going directly to turbines from geothermal reservoirs,
in which give power to generator to produce electricity. These are few examples on
how energy harnessed.

2. Energy gives us strength, low energy indicates slow motion, and slow movement
will result to a slower progress in a work.

3. We should practice turning off the light when it is not used or needed.
