Lab - 4-17-12 - Resources

1. What resources do we use most of each day? Why do you think so? How can we conserve those resources?



2. Choose two natural resources you have learned about. Are they renewable or nonrenewable? How do you know?



3. Identify three renewable and three nonrenewable resources you have used today so far. Which do you think are most important? Why?

49 comments:

  1. 1.fuel for electricity.use wind energy instead.
    2.solar and wind renewable they are easy to get back.
    3.fossil fuel, oil, and natural gas.wind, solar, and water.nonrenewable because they power the world.

  2. 1. I think that we still use more nonrenewable resources than renewable ones everyday, because people are just starting to use renewable resources. We can conserve them by using more renewable things like wind and solar energy.
    2. Oil is a nonrenewable resource because it is a fossil fuel and a tree is a renewable resource because it can be EASILY replaced.
    3. Nonrenewable: oil (In plastic), natural gas (To cook things) and coal (to heat things up). Renewable: solar energy (to provide electricity), trees (to write on paper) and plants (to eat). I think that the nonrenewable resources are more important because there isn't much of them so we need to be careful with them.

    1. Electricity
    We use it to power our "gadgets" such as a tv and oven; Turn off lights when we dont use them

    2. Water
    renewable because it runs in a cycle
    Fossil Fuels
    nonrenewable because it takes a long time to form

    3. Renewable:
    *water
    *bread
    *cotton (clothes) Water and electricity
    Nonrenewable: is most important
    *electricity because we use that the
    *gas (in a car) most.
    *coal (in a grill)

  4. 1. We use water and air the most everyday. We use air to breathe and water to stay hidrated. We can drink less to copnserve water.

    2. Two things that we learned are fossil fuels that are nonrenewable and waves that are renewable.

    3. Three things that are renewable are air, water, water bottle. Air and water are important because you need to breathe and drink to stay hidrated.
    Three things that are nonrenewable are oil gasoline and natural gas. Oil and gas are things we need because oil is used to cook andgas is used to transport people.

  5. 1. car/gas because we use it to go to school and other places
    2. people and plants. they are both renewable because they reproduce
    3.renewable: paper, soda can, book
    nonrenewable: car/gas, electricity, computer

  6. 1. Electricity, We use it for our daily appliences, We can turn off lights
    2. Coal and Oil. Non renewable, because the take a long time to form.
    3. Oil, For my moms car. Aluminum for my soda can, and Lead for my pencil. Wheat for my cookies, Ham from pigs, And MYSELF!

    1.Water Bottles, because we use theese things every day. We can conserve by using reusable bottles or you can recycle the one that you throw away.
    2. Oil and gas, because we do not have to make it, it is a nonrenewable resource I know this because it takes a long time to make and that makes it a nonrenewable resource.
    3. Natural gas , Oil ,coal , Plants , People,And air. I think air is the most important resource because if we didnt have air we would not be able to live or breathe.

    1.i think we use water the most, because we the most, because we use A Lot of gallons in our shower, and we drink it. We could not leave the sink on while brushing our teeth or washing our face, or also take shorter showers

    2.water and coal,water is renewable because it goes thruogh a cycle/it will never run out.Coal is nonrenewabl/we will run out of coal one day

    3.nonrenewable: gasoliene in a car, rubbber on my shoes,and coal because a lot of electricity comes from coal power plants Renewable:water foantain, i ate a salad,and the sun becaus ewe couldnt live without it.I thinkthe sun is most important because without it the earth wouldnt have Anything!

    1)well, we use water and i think we use it for alot of things here are some of the many things we use it to stay alive,and we also use it to brush our teath and we can conserve it by not leaving the fosit on when we brush our teath and we can take shorter showers. Then the next thing is electricity we all use we are using it right this second infact and we can conserve it by not leaving the lights on in our house when we laeve a room and we can stop going to sleep with the T.V. on.
    2) well, we all know about the water cycle wright so of course my first choice is water and it si renewable because of that very reason the water cycle. Then my second choice is Trees they are renewable and i know that because we plant them animals scader the seeds and so does water and wind.
    3)Hmmmmmm......... Let me think my first choice would have to be water i drank, then trees my number two pencil of course, and last but not least on my renewable list is ethanole its made from corn i use to get to school every day in my dad's truck. I think the most important resorce is water because i use it for more than half of the things i do in a day. Then on my nonrenewable resorce list is plastic,metal,and glass and i think the most important thing on that list is plastic because i use my mechanical pencil to do all my writing with.

    thx for reading my long blog I LOVE SCIENCE and want to always show all of my work!!!!

    1) we use energy the most each day because everything we turn on use energy like car, a/c, oven, and calculator.

    2) water is renewable because we can recycle it. Oil is non-renewable because it is used up one it is burned.

    3) renewable - water, trees, and oxygen.
    Non-renewable - oil, metal, and electricity.

    1. We use non-renewable resources the most. It's because we use like gasoline for cars and fossil fuels for things. We can conserve it by using renewable resources like the sun, plants, and wind.
    2. Sun, Coal; sun: renewable, because it will never go away; coal: non- renewable, we dig underground for coal and it is created by dead animals and dead organisms.
    3. Renewable: paper, sun, water. Non-renewable: gasoline, and I haven't used any other non-renewable resources . Most important: SUN!!! Because if we had no sun, we wouldn't survive.

    YOU ROCK MRS. ROLLINS!!!

    1. We could using resources over and over again each everyday prections from unprectioning worlds and do not kills animals in the waters, animals in the airs and animals on the lands and we needs to saves the worlds and animals everywere in the worlds or around and do not be a wasetfuls, do not be a unhelpfuls and do not be a unhappiest (humens or peoples).

    2. Fossil fuels and heathly bodies I knows that fossil fuels bad then heathly bodies and heathly bodies heathly then fossil fuels.

    3. Oxygen, water, timber (trees) are renewable resources. Coal, oil, fossel fuel are nonrenewable resources. Renewable resources are the most important because it's healthier than nonrenewable resources.

  22. 1. I think we use water the most each day because we drink it, we shower in it, and we use it for so much more. We can conserve water by turning it off when we dont use it.

    2. Coal and oil are nonrenewable because they are hard to get.

    3. Renewable Nonrenewable

    1) I think we use water and air the most everyday. Because we breath all day and all night 24 hours a day, and water is a main value and most EVERYTHING has water in it.
    2) Fossil Fuels: Non-renewable
    Trees: Renewable
    3) Renewable: Water, wood, and the Sun! I DEFINENTALLY think that the Sun is the most important because NOBODY on earth, except maybe a vampire, would be living today!!!!!!!! D:

    1. renewable, because we use the sun, and air every second of the day, and use water when we drink so that we stay alive, and We use sun to have light, heat, and help plants grow so we can eat them, and use air to breathe!

    2. Coal is nonrenewable because it cannot be replaced quickly. Air is renewable because it can be restored quickly.

    3. renewable- sun, air and water
    nonrenewable- coal, oil, and fossil fuels

    I think renewable is most important because we could not live without it! And a looooong time ago, they did not use nonrenewable resources, like coal, oil, and they did not use gas, and they still lived!

    I loooooove science

    1.water so we have something to drink and to water plants and more with.I think we can use less and take quicker showers.
    2.coal is non-renewable because you have to dig and dig and dig to find any.Animals are renewable because they lay eggs(or not!)and their babys will produce more babys.
    3.renewable-wood because of my pencil,water for when i am thirsty,and air to breathe. Non-renewable-gas for my mom to take me to school,electricity to power the computer,coal to cook food. I think both are equally important because we need some of both.

    ReplyDelete
  28. 1. electricity. we use it almost every day(No. Every day)! Thats why houston lights are visible from outer space. we should really just turn off the lights, or use solar panels or windmills.
    2. The one and only.......WATER(H2O)!!!! we would die if water didn't exist or ran out. Thankfully, the water cycle exists. Im getting thirsty.
    3. renewable= air, sun and water.
    nonrenewable= oil, coal, natural gas.
    I think renewable resources are more important because they will never run out. during a war, we may only have water, air, and sunlight to survive. Science led the way for major improvements in human life, So I only can say one thing...............SCIENCE LEADS THE WAY!!!!!!!!!

    1. electricity because we use it for our tv, computers,and almost any other gadget and i think we could we help it by not leaving the lights on in a room.
    2. water is renewable because it goes through the water cycle and also coal is nonrenewable because it takes thousands of years to make it.
    3. three nonrenewable resources are fossil fules, coal, gasoline. gasoline because i use it every day when i am in the car.
    three renewable resources are plants, water, the sun. i think the sun is the most important because it is what lets us live and nothing would live without it.

    1. Fossil fuels, electricity, water. I think so because we use electricity for our computers, TV, oven, microwave, and many other things in our house. We can conserve electricity by turning off the things we are not using, water by not leaving the sink and shower running and fossil fuels by buying electric cars instead of gas cars.

    2.
    Solar Energy, the sun energy is renewable, because it provides a continuous source of energy.

    Wind energy, it is renewable, because the weather continuously creates wind.

    3.
    Renewable - Electrical, Wind, and Solar
    Nonrenewable - Oil, Food, and Pencil

    I think that electrical and wind are the most important because electrical powers everything, and wind because it can provide our homes with energy.

  35. Roman Bustos - MelanconApril 18, 2012 at 4:46 PM

    1 Electricity because we use it to make food, clean water and other drinks, for tvs and lights, and now even some cars are using it. It would help to turn off the lights when we are not using them.
    2 Fuel is a non-renewable natural resource. I know it's non-renewable because it takes longer than the average human lifetime to form once used.Water is a renewable resource because the water cycle recycles water and the water cycle never ends.
    3 Renewable- wind, water, sunlight
    Non-renewable- coal, natural gas, gasoline/ fuel
    The more important resources in my opinion are the renewable resources because they are the things that we need to live.

  36. TylerM.-Miss YoungApril 18, 2012 at 5:55 PM

    Renewable because we have to eat every day and foods and drinks are renewable.

    Green beans because it is a living thing and all living things are renewable and oil which is nonrenewable because it take million of years to form.

    Gas, coal, & fossil fuels are the nonrenewable and water food and the sun are the renewable. I think that the sun, because all living things need the sun to survive.

  37. 1.electricity becausewe use light and electricity every day and every hour.

    1. Electricity. We use it to power computer's, IPad',s, Television, ect.WE can use more solar energy to power most of it.
    2.Coal- Non-Renewable- Because if we run out of it, it will take at least 1,000,000 years to form again under the earth.
    Solar Energy- Renewable- The sun lives forever! ( that is what causes solar energy)
    3.RR-Water, Wind, Sun
    NRR- Oil, Fuel, Natural Gas.
    The most important is the sun because it gives us light and minerals to the plants to give off air to breathe.

    1. Water bottles, we can refill it after drinking it all.

    2. Coal, nonreanewable because who knows how long it would take to replace it.
    Plants, renewable because they can be replaced in a really short period of time.

    3. Paper, water, people , renewable and gas, coal, and oil, nonrenewable.
    I think water and gas are the most important, we need water too surive and gas too travel.

    1. I think water because 1 drop of water contains more fluid oz. than we can count. We use it in showers, we drink it everyday, cleaning purposes, and to make coffee. We can moniter ourselves and not take long showers, not waste water in water bottles.
    2. Oil is nonrenewable because it would take a long period of time to get more, and trees are renewable because they grow seeds that will grow, etc.
    3. Water, food, and sun- renewable. Oil, gas, and coals- nonrenewable. Most important are water and sun. Water because we use it daily to dehydrate ourselves and the sun because it gives us life and light to live.

    #1 Electricity. All the lights and TV's we use come from electricity. We could turn the lights off when we aren't using them.
    #2 Coal and oil. They are both nonrenewable because it takes long time to find them.
    #3 Water,the sun,and food. And oil,gas,and fuel. I think the sun is the most important because without the sun there would be nothing on Earth.
