| Non-renewable resources | Energy resources that are used faster than the Earth can replace them |
| Natural gas | A gas often formed along with oil |
| Hydroelectric | Electricity produced by water power |
| Peat | Layer of organic sediment |
| Biomass | Energy that comes from burning wood, alcohol, and garbage |
| Fossil fuel | Oil, Natural gas, and Coal are this type of fuel. They are removed from the ground by mining or pumping |
| Mineral Resources | Resources from which Metals are obtained - Ores |
| Inexhaustible Resources | Sources of energy that will not run out. Solar, Wind, Hydroelectric, Geothermal |
| Ores | Deposits of minerals in a large enough amount to be mined for a profit |
| Nuclear energy | Alternate energy produced from atomic reactions. It uses uranium. |
| Solar energy | Energy produced from the sun |
| Energy | The ability to cause change |
| Renewable resources | Energy resources that can be replaced by nature or humand in a relatively short period of time. Air/wind, water, trees, biomass |
| How long does it take fossil fuels to form? | It takes millions of years |
| Active Solar energy | Gets energy(electric or heat)from solar a collector (solar panels) |
| Passive Solar energy | Uses Solar energy that enters through the windows |
| Wind farm | Area used for many wind turbines to generate electricity |
| Conservation | Turn off lights, lower heat, recycle |
| Independent/manipulated variable | Part of the experiment that is changed |
| Dependant/responding variable | The part of an experiment that is the measure of any change |
