CONCLUSION

INTRODUCTIONEnergy: we are constantly using it, but…where does it come from? What can happen if we use more energy than the one that we produce? Do you use energy as a responsible citizen?

Watch this video for a quick introduction to some of the facts you need to know about energy use and production.

HOW TO DO THE WORKThis is an INDIVIDUAL work, you have to do it on your own.

You can do a poster, a power point, a book, a word document… you can choose whatever you want as long as you do it clean and properly organized.

The only part of the work you must show to your classmates is the main task, the questions are just for me.

QUESTIONSAnswer to these questions to introduce yourself to energy (by looking at the UNIT 7 power point):

• Where can we get energy from?• What is the difference between renewable

and non-renewable energies?• Name all the renewable energies that you

know.• What do we use energy for?

Do you unplug electronic devices while you aren’t using them? Which temperature is the heating in your house? Which clothes

do you wear at home during winter? Have you got an air conditioner system at home? Do you use it

in summer? How many hours a day do you use it? How do you go to work or to school every day? How many hours a day is your house’s TV switched on? How many times a week do you use the washing machine? At

which temperature do you usually use it? Have you got a dish washer? How many times a week do you

use it? Do you usually have a shower or a bath? What do you usually do in your free time?
