Our world provides us with more energies then
just fossil fuels. There is solar energy that is
provided by the sun. There is wind energy and
hydro energy that is provided by moving, rushing
water. There is geothermal energy that is provided
by hot rocks and magma. Then there is biofuel
energy that is from burning animal feces and
plants.
These are
other
energies.
We think our generation needs to learn about all kinds
of energies. There is a possibility that we may run out
of nonrenewable energies when we are older. We can
not fix this, so we need to learn about alternative
energies and come up with new energy sources for us
to use when we are older. Also, if we learn about new
energy resources now, we can change the way we use
the products now, and slow down their use. When our
world runs out of nonrenewable resources we can
come up with new ideas for the world to use. The last
reason we need to learn about nonrenewable resources
is so that when we get older, we can consider an
engineering degree and come up with new ways to
deferent an energy crisis.
These
are
fossil
fuels!

It is how we get our transportation to work.

It is a reliable source of energy.

People make money from it.

There is a lot of oil and gas in America which
makes us less energy dependent on other
nations.



Many jobs can be created in the field of retrieving these
fossil fuels from our Earth.
A lot of medical supplies are made of petroleum oil such
as bandages, rubbing alcohol, vitamin capsules, dentures,
denture adhesive , vaporizers, heart valves cold cream
make up, antihistamines, cortisone, lotion, tooth brushes,
tooth paste, and many other items .
Fossil fuels are used to make fuel for most transportation
and electricity for homes and businesses.

People die from the accidents while retrieving
the fossil fuels from the Earth (explosions, cave
ins, etc.)
Fossil fuels are a major cause of pollution.
Fossil fuels are very expensive to retrieve from
the ground.
We have a limited supply during our life time.
While fossil fuels currently provide a constant
reasonable cost form of electricity, they are not really
cost effective because they cost money, lives, and
create pollution that is expensive to clean up. Fossil
fuels are also dangerous to animals and animal
habitats . Oil and gas can leaks can cause very bad
habitat destruction and loss to nature, killing animals
if it reaches the ocean.
These are oil sites + gas sites.
Fossil fuels are used for car fuel, rubber, plastic,
ink, make up, cleaning detergents, water pipes,
and many more items we use daily.

Coal is only made out of plants.
Fossil fuels take millions of years to form.
Coal has carbon in it.
Natural gas is mixed with oil or gas (not all the
time).
Coal is made out of
dead plants.

Frist the suns rays hit the producers
The energy is in the producers
The animals eat the producers
The producers and animals die ( not at the same time)
Now they get covered with many layers of sediment ( dirt)
After millions of years and heat + pressure
That makes fossil fuels such as petroleum oil , natural gas ,
coal , propane gas
Ship it to the electric company
Now we have to burn them(fossil fuels)
The steam makes the turbine go around
Now the energy goes throw the wires so we can turn on are
electric things on
These are the wires that carry electricity
made from fossil fuels to your home.
These all
relate to
fossil fuels .
What we have learned that will help us in the
future. Plus we learned that working together is
important to not only to you, but the people your
working with . Also, we learned to turn in our
work on time and correctly so the job can get
done and over with.
Fix up this last slide and make two paragraphs.
#1 paragraph: Talk about your true feelings
about using ff.
#2 paragraph: discuss the benefits of working as
a team, and how team work is important to your
futures.
