Materials:
- Sellotape
- Scissors
- Pizza Box
- Straw
- Marshmallow
- Biscuit
- Glad wrap
- Tinfoil
- Black plastic
- Ruler
- Vivid marker (pen)
- Newspaper
Steps:
- Cut out the flap on the lid of the pizza box so that it is 5cm around the edge.
- Sellotape some tinfoil on the inside of the flap.
- Sellotape some glad wrap so that the hole you have to cut on the pizza box lid is covered over with glad wrap.
- Put a piece of black plastic on the bottom of inside of the pizza box on the bottom.
- Make a paper square out of newspaper that fits inside the pizza box and lays around the edge.
- Put a marshmallow on top of a chocolate biscuit, place it on a plastic plate and put it on the solar oven.
- Put it in the sun to cook.
Conclusion
The smores weren't cooked because there was no sun near the oven. The positive thing was that heat couldn't get out of the oven because everything is perfectly fitted.
Aim: To make a presentation that investigates different renewable energy's.
Section 1: Title Page
Make a title page that incorporates all renewable energy 's Hydro, Solar, Wind and Wave.
Section 2: Definitions
Define and provide a picture of each energy type.
- Hydro Energy - energy created from the movement of the water, eg. Dams.
- Solar Energy - energy from the sun, eg. Solar Panels.
- Wind Energy - is a process by which wind is used to generate energy, eg. Windmills, wind turbines.
- Wave Energy - is produced by up and down motion of floating devices placed on the surface of the ocean.
(Hydro, Solar, Wind, Wave )
Hydro
- Type: Hydro
- Is it used in NZ? Yes, it accounts for 57% of the total electricity generation in New Zealand. Link
- Other Countries that use it? Yes, Brazil, Canada, Norway, Paraguay, Austria, Switzerland, Venezuela, and more countries use hydroelectricity.
- How is it used to generate electricity? The energy created from the movement of the water.
- Draw and label a diagram of the main parts of the electricity generator? This can be done on paper and uploaded or on a drawing program on your device. I do not want any Internet images or pictures. They must be hand drawn using a ruler and labelled.
Solar
- Type: Solar
- Is it used in NZ? Yes (solar)
- Other Countries that use it? Germany, Italy, Spain, Japan, United States, Czech Republic and more.
- How is it used to generate electricity? It is from the energy from the sun.
- Draw and label a diagram of the main parts of the electricity generator? This can be done on paper and uploaded or on a drawing program on your device. I do not want any Internet images or pictures. They must be hand drawn using a ruler and labelled.
Wind
- Type: Wind
- Is it used in NZ? Yes, New Zealand has a total of 19 wind farms (operating or under construction).
- Other Countries that use it? China, India, Spain, the United Kingdom, France, Brazil and more countries use wind energy.
- How is it used to generate electricity? Wind energy is a process by which wind is used to generate energy,
- Draw and label a diagram of the main parts of the electricity generator? This can be done on paper and uploaded or on a drawing program on your device. I do not want any Internet images or pictures. They must be hand drawn using a ruler and labelled.
Wave
- Type: Wave
- Is it used in NZ? No, there are lots of resources but yet have not generated power from them.
- Other Countries that use it? Ghana, United Kingdom, Spain, Portugal, United States, Israel, Greece, Sweden, Scotland, Italy, Russia and more.
- How is it used to generate electricity? Wave energy is produced by up and down motion of floating devices placed on the surface of the ocean.
- Draw and label a diagram of the main parts of the electricity generator? This can be done on paper and uploaded or on a drawing program on your device. I do not want any Internet images or pictures. They must be hand drawn using a ruler and labelled.
