Renewable Energy for Kids

Did you know that we use energy every day? Whether it is to heat our homes, power our cars, or light up our buildings, we really depend on it! Some forms of energy are limited and can be harmful to the environment, like fossils fuels. Others are renewable, which means they cannot be used up. In this educational video, we are going to talk about forms of renewable energy.   You might have heard the term, “green energy” before. This is another name for renewable energy because it comes from our planet’s own renewable resources.   Forms of this type of energy include: solar, wind, hydro, geothermal, biomass, and nuclear.   We hope you and your student(s) enjoyed learning about renewable energy!
