Renewable and NonrenewableEnergy Sources and theirImpactsFourth Grade – Unit PowerPointSustainability for Young Learners CoursesLessons 1-5

Primary Standards Covered 4-ESS3-1: Earth and Human Activity - Obtain and combine information todescribe that energy and fuels are derived from natural resources and thattheir uses affect the environment. [Clarification Statement: Examples ofrenewable energy resources could include wind energy, water behinddams, and sunlight; non-renewable energy resources are fossil fuels andfissile materials. Examples of environmental effects could include loss ofhabitat due to dams, loss of habitat due to surface mining, and air pollutionfrom burning of fossil fuels.] SS3.A (4-ESS3-1): Disciplinary Core Ideas: Natural Resources - Energy andfuels that humans use are derived from natural sources, and their useaffects the environment in multiple ways. Some resources are renewableover time, and others are not.

Standard Connections Covered 4-ESS3-2: Constructing Explanations and Designing Solutions Generate and compare multiple solutions to a problem based on howwell they meet the criteria and constraints of the design solution. Literacy Common Core Standards Connections: RI.4.1 Refer to detailsand examples in a text when explaining what the text says explicitlyand when drawing inferences from the text. (4-ESS3-2)

Vocabulary WordsLesson #1, Activity #1

Energy The power or ability to make something work, move, or be active.Lesson 1, Activity #1

Fossil Fuels Any carbon-containing fuel formed from the remains of prehistoricplants and animals. Ex: coal, petroleum, and natural gasLesson 1, Activity #1

Non-renewable resources Resources that have a limited supply and cannot be replaced bynatural means at a pace that meets its consumption.Lesson 1, Activity #1

Renewable Resources Any source that can or will be replenished naturally over a shortamount of time to meet consumption needs. Ex: wood or solar (sun)Lesson 1, Activity #1

Climate Change A change in global and regional climate patterns attributed to anincrease in atmospheric carbon dioxide from the burning of fossil fuels.Lesson 1, Activity #1

Pollution Pollution happens when the environment is contaminated, or dirtied,by waste, chemicals, and other harmful substances. There are threemain forms of pollution: air, water, and land.Lesson 1, Activity #1

Sustainable Ability to be maintained at a certain rate or level.Lesson 1, Activity #1

Coal A hard black or dark brown substance that is found in the earth andburned as fuel.Lesson 1, Activity #1

Oil Liquid found beneath the earth’s surface used for fuel to power cars.Lesson 1, Activity #1

Natural Gas A mixture of gases found in the earth’s crust and extracted by frackingto be used for cooking and heating.Lesson 1, Activity #1

Solar Energy Radiant energy from the sun that is captured to create energy.Lesson 1, Activity #1

Wind Energy Wind is used to create energy via turbines. The wind turns theturbines, which creates energy and electricity.Lesson 1, Activity #1

Hydropower Producing electricity by converting the power of waves and water intoenergy.Lesson 1, Activity #1
