33
How does a power plant work?
1) Water is heated 2) Steam pushes turbines 3) Turbines spin a generator
34
How do biofuels create the heat to make energy?
They get burned
35
How does Nuclear Power create heat to create electricity?
Through a chain reaction where electrons split of uranuim atoms into other uranuim atoms splitting more electrons. This is called Fission.
36
How do Fossil Fuels create heat to create electricity?
They are burned.
37
How does Geothermal Power create electricity?
By drawing steam out of reservoirs, that flows through turbines, spinning a generator.
38
How does Solar Power create electricity?
When the silicon meets with photons of sunlight, it releases electrons, creating a electric charge.
39
How does Tidal Power create electricity?
Water current flows through turbines, spinning a generator.
40
How does wind power create electricity?
Wind pushes through turbines, spinning a generator.
41
Are biofuels renewable?
Yes
42
Is nuclear power renewable?
No
43
Are fossil fuels renewable?
No
44
Is geothermal power renewable?
Yes

Elastic potential energy
66
What energy is stored in hot food?
Thermal energy
67
What energy is stored in a thrown ball?
Kinetic energy
68
Formula for Power (Watts)
Power = energy / time (Watts = Joules / Time)
69
Watts tell you ...
... energy transferred per second.
70
What are food chains?
A food chain shows the transfer of energy between organisms. The arrows in a food chain show the flow of energy.
