Watch the video 'The Story of Energy' about fossil fuels and renewable energy from SEAI schools, in the link below.
How are fossil fuels formed? Create your own labelled diagram to explain this.
Now try answering the following questions:
- Can you name the four main types of fossil fuels?
- What do we use fossil fuels to do?
- What happens when fossil fuels are burned? How is this changed to electricity?
- Burning fossil fuels creates carbon dioxide – why is this a negative thing? What is happening to our planet? What are the effects? How can we fix this problem?
- In what ways can we help at home to reduce energy use and burning fossil fuels?
- Renewable energy is an alternative – in what ways can we use the wind and sun?
Think about what you have learnt.
What ways can you create a cleaner, greener, more sustainable future for everyone?
