(upbeat music) Good morning, amazing students of Arkansas.

I am Trey Suskie and today we will be identifying types of renewable and nonrenewable resources of energy.

Now, what is a renewable resource?

That's right.

A renewable resource is a resource that will replenish itself in the time of a human lifespan.

What are some examples of energy sources that replenish themselves?

Hmm.

Yes.

Very good.

The sun, which is solar power, water, which is hydro electric power, such as dams and wind, like in a windmill or wind turbine, are all great examples.

Let's investigate each of these and how they work.

First, we have solar power.

Now that works when the sun's rays charge something up and you use that energy to power something else, like a lamp or even a house, if you've got a big solar panel.

Next, we have hydroelectric dams, right?

So they use water to do a similar thing.

Water goes through the dam and it spins a turbine machine that produces electric power and that goes to power that town or city.

Wind turbines also do a similar thing.

The turbines are moved by the wind.

So think of this as a wind turbine.

When we blow on this, it moves the turbine and causes power to go to something else, like a city or town or even a house.

Are you starting to understand renewable energy better now?

Good.

What about nonrenewable energy?

What is it?

That's right.

And energy source that cannot replenish itself in the span of a human lifetime.

What are some examples of energy sources that are not renewable?

Good job, student.

Nuclear power.

Like in submarines or coal power.

Like in trains.

Or maybe even a gas stove or furnace.

Even oil in a kerosene lamp are all great examples.

Let's take a look at the kerosene lamp specifically.

All right.

So much like the one on our desk, that is not actually for kerosene.

The gas is in the bottom and it has a spark that will go and it will actually make a flame turn on like this.

And it's housed in something to keep the flame from going out.

That is how a kerosene lamp works.

Wow, students.

We have learned so much today.

What are some other examples of renewable and non-renewal resources that you have seen or learned about?

Ask an adult to help you investigate some of those examples and see what you can learn.

Thank you for tuning in students and have a fantastic rest of your day.

(upbeat music) Get up off your feet.

Ah, ooo, ooo.

It's time to rise and shine.
