33) Generator system: A system that transforms kinetic energy to electrical energy
Turbine: Steam, water, or wind cause the turbine to spin
Shaft: As the turbine spins, the shaft spins
Generator: Kinetic energy of the spinning shaft is transformed into electrical energy inside the
generator
Thermal energy from burning coal is used to boil water into steam
Pressure associated with moving steam turns the blades of turbines connected to generators
Kinetic energy of wind is transformed into electrical energy as the moving air turns the turbine of a
generator system
Photovoltaic cells transform the energy of visible light to electrical energy
Where Earth’s crust is thin and molten rock comes close to the surface, hot steam can be used to turn
turbines to generate electrical energy
Tides and the rise and fall of waves can turn turbines to generate electrical energy
36) A phantom load is any electricity that an appliance or device consumes even when it's turned
off
37) 250W
38) 15V
39) Nonrenewable energy source: An energy source that is non-replaceable in a human lifetime
Examples: Coal, natural gas, uranium (nuclear reactions)
41) Respect and Responsibility (making decisions that respect the natural world; responsible use of
resources)
Intergenerational Knowledge (listening to Elders and sharing knowledge between generations)
Balance and Interconnectedness (balance makes sure future generations are considered;
interconnectedness takes many relationships with an ecosystem into consideration)
Giving and Receiving (giving thanks for natural resources recognizes their value; benefits of resources
are shared in a community)
