1.What does the Law of Conservation of Energy tells us? 2.Give an example of 1 way that heat is transferred in your home by conduction, convection and radiation. 3.What is the difference between renewable and nonrenewable resources? 4. Energyville has run out of fossil fuels and is in an energy crisis.  What is one type of renewable energy source that you might recommend to the mayor of Energyville and why do you think that it should be considered? 5. Develop an action plan that includes one specific way that you can conserve energy in your own home.

1.Law of Conservation of Energy:

The Law of Conservation of Energy states that the total energy in a closed system remains constant; it cannot be created or destroyed, only transformed from one form to another.

2.Examples of Heat Transfer:

Conduction: Touching a metal spoon that has been in a hot pot. The heat is transferred from the hot spoon to your hand through direct contact.

Convection: Feeling warm air rising near a heater. As air is heated, it becomes less dense and rises, creating a convection current.

Radiation: Sitting near a fireplace and feeling the warmth from the flames. In this case, heat is transferred through electromagnetic waves.

3.Renewable vs. Nonrenewable Resources:

Renewable Resources: These can be replenished over time and include sources like solar, wind, and hydropower.

Nonrenewable Resources: These are finite and deplete over time, such as fossil fuels like coal, oil, and natural gas.

4.Recommendation for Energyville:

Considering the energy crisis, I would recommend investing in solar energy. Solar power is sustainable, environmentally friendly, and abundant. It harnesses energy from the sun through solar panels, providing a clean and renewable source of electricity.

5.Energy Conservation Action Plan:

Implement LED lighting: Replace traditional incandescent bulbs with energy-efficient LED bulbs throughout your home. LEDs consume less energy, last longer, and contribute to overall energy conservation.
