Lighting The Way With Solar Energy! by Sienna G https://padlet.com/sgravit/7jcj9s0jcd7n Made with an aura of mystery en-us 2017-03-07 22:52:13 UTC 2026-03-12 04:04:35 UTC hello@padlet.com 1.The Story sgravit https://padlet.com/sgravit/7jcj9s0jcd7n/wish/158522006 2017-03-07 22:59:25 UTC https://padlet.com/sgravit/7jcj9s0jcd7n/wish/158522006 2 Prior Knowledge sgravit https://padlet.com/sgravit/7jcj9s0jcd7n/wish/158522498 I know that solar power is generated using the sun and solar panels.I also know  that solar power is an eco friendly way of generating energy and is cheaper than the electric power. Some examples are ,houses,robots,wind turbines,signs that light up at night and garden lights. these all  use  solar panels. I think renewable energy is energy that  renews every month when you pay the money for your power bill.]]> 2017-03-07 23:03:37 UTC https://padlet.com/sgravit/7jcj9s0jcd7n/wish/158522498 3.What Will I Learn From This? sgravit https://padlet.com/sgravit/7jcj9s0jcd7n/wish/158523199 I think  I will learn about how the solar power plants and panels work and where and how people use it.]]> 2017-03-07 23:09:50 UTC https://padlet.com/sgravit/7jcj9s0jcd7n/wish/158523199 4.Wind Turbine Photo sgravit https://padlet.com/sgravit/7jcj9s0jcd7n/wish/158524559 2017-03-07 23:23:09 UTC https://padlet.com/sgravit/7jcj9s0jcd7n/wish/158524559 4.Te Apiti Wind Farm Image sgravit https://padlet.com/sgravit/7jcj9s0jcd7n/wish/158525514 2017-03-07 23:32:40 UTC https://padlet.com/sgravit/7jcj9s0jcd7n/wish/158525514 6.Where it takes place sgravit https://padlet.com/sgravit/7jcj9s0jcd7n/wish/160126041 This takes place on an island called Tokelau. It also has a little bit to do with New Zealand. ]]> 2017-03-14 23:02:06 UTC https://padlet.com/sgravit/7jcj9s0jcd7n/wish/160126041 7.Questions sgravit https://padlet.com/sgravit/7jcj9s0jcd7n/wish/160127816 Why and how has Tokelau changed from fossil fuels to renewable energy? What evidence did they use to make this decision? And how did they decide which type of renewable energy to use?

Fossil fuels are fuels are fossils  dug up from the ground and made into fuel.

Renewable Energy:
Renewable energy can be used repetitively from the same source.

As the Earth’s temperature rises, the ice sheets in Antarctica and Greenland will begin to melt into the oceans, causing the sea level to rise.
