RENEWABLE ENERGY

Renewable Energy film

Biomass

Aim: To compare the amount of gas that is produced from different types of biomass

  

Investigation.

What is biomass?
its a never ruining out source of energy What are the 5 types of biomass?

1.  hydro electric
2.  wood
3.  bio fuels
4.  wind
5.  solar

What are three benefits of biomass?

1. it combats climate change  
2.    can decrease pollution
3.    reliable source of power

What are three disadvantages of biomass?

1.   generates power on smaller scale
2.   can disrupt wild life and migration patterns
3.   power can be intermittent

Research the following types of Biomass.
You will need to:

Write a definition of the each fuel.

Answer each question

• How is it made?
• What is it used for? making energy
• Where is it made? Sweden, Austria, and the United States
• What is it made with? it was made with plants wood and more
• What countries use it?   pretty much all of the countries

Place 2 images of the fuel.

1. 15 Points are needed to get a badge
2. A high standard of work.

• All experiments are written up ( Aim, Materials, Steps, Conclusion)
• Two photos of your experiment
• 6 sentences at least for a conclusion

Science will be twice per week.

• Lesson 1: This will be an Experiment that involves blogging. You will be expected to open a new post, copy Mr Palmer's blog and paste it on your new post.
• Lesson 2: This will be an Investigation that relates to the topic from Lesson 1. It will be own choice and displayed in a way that you prefer. For example - PowerPoint, Doc, etc

BLOGGING.

All the blogs and science lessons will be displayed on Mr Palmers blog: 

http://mrpalmersscience.blogspot.com/

Bookmark it!

Expectations:

• 1 blog must be completed per Hurumanu lesson.
• A completed blog must have the four headings ( Aim, Method, Findings, Conclusion), correct writing and punctuation under each heading and be published. No post, no points.
• 2 images of the experiment / investigation on the blog.

Using the Scientific method of investigation:

Aim: What the experiment / investigation is about.

Method: Instructions on how the experiment / investigation is carried out. This includes the equipment.

Findings: What have we learnt or found out from our experiment / investigation. This is called Data, Information or Facts. It is displayed in a chart, table or picture.

Conclusion:  

My Hurumanu Science Goals:


1. I can give feed back. This means for me is understanding the feedback I get.


2. I know what my next steps are. This means to me I should think about my steps more.

3. I can work successfully with others. This means for me I should try and have the same mindset as my group.
