1. HOW ARE FOSSILS & ENERGY
RELATED?

2. What do you think these pictures look like?
They look like parts of animals that were once alive

3. Fossils
A fossil is the remains of a living organism.
(It can be a plant or an animal)
 Includes bones, teeth, hair or shells


4. 
Sometimes, living things leave a mark in a
material like: mud; by time the materials can
harden into rock & these marks are saved in
the rocks, this is called: Imprint & it is a type
of fossils.

5. How are fossils made?

A fish lives deep in the
Ocean.

6. 
It died & shortly sinks in
the ocean’s floor.

7. 
After few weeks, the soft
parts of the fish’s body
begin to decay.

8. 
After several months, only
the skeleton “bones” of the
fish is left.

9. 
The bones are covered with
the sand.

10. 
As the time passes, the
bones become hard like:
rocks & fossils are formed.

11. Steps of fossils
formation
When the animal dies it is buried fast.
 The soft parts of the animal (ex. skin) decay.
 Over a long time the sand and bones
become rock.
 Fossils are made.


12. TO BECOME A FOSSIL
Must die in a wet environment
 Must be buried quickly so the organism is not
eaten, decomposed or weathered.
 Must have parts capable of being
fossilized…hard parts.


13. Fuels

To run a car
& heat our homes
or a plane
we need fuel

14. What is fuel?

A material that is burned to give energy.

15. Fossils fuels
- Fuels that forms from the remains of plants &
animals are called: Fossil fuels
Coal
Oil
Natural gas

16. Coal
- Coal is formed when
plants of the swamps die &
buried for many years.

17. Oil
-Oil is found in rocks deep
below the earth's surface.
-People use pumps to bring
oil to the surface.

18. Natural
gas

19. Resources of energy

They are the sources from where we get
energy.

Resources of energy can be:
1) Renewable resources.
2) Non-renewable resources.

20. RENEWABLE RESOURCES
They are the resources of energy that can
be used again & again “replaced”.
 Examples:
1) Solar energy: Is the energy from the sun that is

used to produce electricity.
{Some cars
moves by solar
energy}

21. 2) Wind energy: The energy of the wind is
used to produce electricity using wind
turbines.

22. 3) Moving water energy: Is the energy of
“water falls” is used to turn turbines &
produce electricity.

23. NON - RENEWABLE RESOURCES
They are the resources of energy that cannot
be re-used “used again” if they finish.
 Examples:
Fossil fuels: Fossil fuels take millions of
years to form & once they are used up, they
are gone forever


24. RENEWABLE / NON - RENEWABLE RESOURCES?
Solar energy
Renewable resource

25. Coal
Non - Renewable resource : Because it’s a fossil fu

26. Moving water
energy
Renewable resource

27. Wind
energy
Renewable resource

28. Fire “which we
make it using
coal”
Non - Renewable resource : Because we use
coal to make it & coal is a fossil fuel

29. Natural gas
Non - Renewable resource : Because it’s a fossil fu

30. Oil
Non - Renewable resource : Because it’s a fossil fu
