Investigation

Aim: To make a presentation that investigates different renewable energy.

Section 1: Title Page

Make a title page that incorporates all renewable energy 's Hydro, Solar, Wind, and Wave.

Section 2: Definitions

Define and provide a picture of each energy type.

1. Hydro Energy
2. Solar Energy
3. Wind Energy 
4. Wave Energy

Section 3; Investigate each of the 4 Energy Types.
(Hydro, Solar, Wind, Wave ) 

1. Type: Hydro
2. Is it used in NZ? Yes
3. Other Countries that use it? Over more than 150
4. How is it used to generate electricity? Hydropower plants capture the energy from falling water into a mechanical energy machine.
5. Draw and label a diagram of the main parts of the electricity generator? This can be done on paper and uploaded or on a drawing program on your device. I do not want any Internet images or pictures. They must be hand-drawn using a ruler and labeled.

1. Type: Solar
2. Is it used in NZ? Yes
3. Other Countries that use it? Other Countries that use it?Germany, Spain, Italy, Japan, the United States, and Czechia. 
4. How is it used to generate electricity? Solar panels convert the sun's rays into electricity that we can use.
5. Draw and label a diagram of the main parts of the electricity generator? This can be done on paper and uploaded or on a drawing program on your device. I do not want any Internet images or pictures. They must be hand-drawn using a ruler and labeled.

1. Type: Wind
2. Is it used in NZ? Yes
3. Other Countries that use it?  France, Canada, United Kingdom, Spain, Germany, The United States, and China.
4. How is it used to generate electricity? Wind turbines convert the energy in the wind into a mechanical power then it can help homes.
5. Draw and label a diagram of the main parts of the electricity generator? This can be done on paper and uploaded or on a drawing program on your device. I do not want any Internet images or pictures. They must be hand-drawn using a ruler and labeled.

1. Type: Wave 
2. Is it used in NZ? Yes
3. Other Countries that use it? Western coast of Scotland, northern Canada, southern Africa, Australia, and the Northwest Coast of the United States.
4. How is it used to generate electricity? There is equipment on the surface of the ocean the gets energy from the movement in the water. 
5. Draw and label a diagram of the main parts of the electricity generator? This can be done on paper and uploaded or on a drawing program on your device. I do not want any Internet images or pictures. They must be hand-drawn using a ruler and labeled.
