4.15 understand the energy transfers involved in generating electricity using: • wind • water • geothermal resources

• solar heating systems • solar cells • fossil fuels • nuclear power **4.16 describe the advantages and disadvantages of methods of large-scale electricity production from various renewable and non-renewable resources** THIS ASSESSMENT OBJECTIVE IS ONLY EXAMINED IN PAPER 2 RENEWABLE ENERGY RESOURCES: These cannot be exhausted and are generally non-polluting. eg solar, wind, wave, tidal, hydroelectric, geothermal, biomass. NON-RENEWABLE ENERGY RESOURCES: Once used up, these cannot be replaced. eg oil, natural gas, coal. [|ARTICLE ABOUT ENERGY RESOURCES WITH GOOD INFO AND A RUDE WORD!]


 * energy presentation class project **
 * ACTIVITY: WOULD IT WORK IN CHINA?**
 * 1) Choose an example of energy generation
 * 2) On the appropriate wiki tab, make an illustrated presentation about a form of energy production.
 * 3) Your presentation should include:
 * How it works
 * A particular example from around the world
 * The energy changes involved
 * The environmental effects
 * Advantages and disadvantages
 * Conclusion (with reasons): is it a good solution for China?
