Non-Renewable Resources

Non-renewable Resources Summary


  1. Visit U.S. Energy Information Administration website to review the basics (this site is geared towards younger students but the information is great). Be sure to review what non-renewable resources are and check out the History of Energy timelines for non-renewables.
  2. Create your own version of Cornell Notes for the Non-renewable Resource Summary above.
The following objectives will be our goal after studying non-renewable resources.
  1. Distinguish between renewable and non-renewable energy sources.
  2. Outline the formation and recovery of fossil fuels and their current and future roles in U.S. energy supply.
  3. Describe the consequences of extracting and burning coal, natural gas, and oil.
  4. Evaluate the benefits and costs of nuclear power.
Time permitting the funnelbrain.com site has flashcards as a resource for studying APES content.
