Title: Identify the sources of energy used with technological devices.
Course: Technology Foundations (18 weeks) (21003-18) > Section: Using Energy as a Technological Resource

Identification should include the following sources of energy arranged by their degree of availability:

- Limited/Unsustainable (e.g., coal, oil, natural gas, uranium)
- Unlimited/Sustainable (e.g., solar, wind, gravitational, tidal, geothermal, fusion)
- Renewable (e.g., solar, wind, water, bioenergy, geothermal, wood, biomass gasification, biomass fermentation, animal power, human muscle power)

Process/Skill Questions:

- What are two sources of energy for today’s automobiles? What are the advantages and disadvantages of each?
- By means of a historical timeline, how would one trace the progression of energy sources used in technological devices since the beginning of technology?
- What current and future types of energy sources could be useful in space travel? How might these energy sources be useful?
- What are examples of limited sources of energy? What are examples of unlimited sources of energy? What are examples of renewable sources of energy?
