Vocabulary: chemical energy, electrical current, energy, fossil fuel, global warming, gravitational
potential energy, hydroelectricity, kinetic energy, light, nonrenewable resource, nuclear energy,
renewable resource, sound, thermal energy
Prior Knowledge Questions (Do these BEFORE using the Gizmo.)
1.What are sources of electricity? List as many as you can. The three major categories of
energy for electricity generation are fossil fuels (coal, natural gas, and petroleum), nuclear
energy, and renewable energy sources. Most electricity is generated with steam turbines
using fossil fuels, nuclear, biomass, geothermal, and solar thermal energy
2.Where do people and other animals get energy to move around? Food
3. Where do plants get energy to live and grow? The sun
