Stop Motion Film: Renewable vs NonRenewable Energy Sources

This quick stop motion film asks & answers the question what makes an energy source renewable or nonrenewable. The material was originally made for middle school students learning about energy. Hope you enjoy it :) For more visit my portfolio at http://thunkenstein.com/

Actually gasoline can last forever their are many unexpected areas that harvest energy so we can never run out of gas coal we just have to make diffrent ways to find it

There is a finite amount. The original source of most fossil fuels is left over plant and animals remains, which took millions of years to convert into the fossil fuels we use now. That process can't be realistically reproduced any time soon. Please research "peak oil production and reserves" to find out more. Make sure to search for scientifically valid, peer reviewed, and nonpartisan funded studies for trustworthy information.

Hello Rachel. I love this video - entertaining, creative and educational. perfect. i am going to use it in a training program for adults on natural resources. i have been searching youtube and i was wondering if you had ever come across a video that explained renewable vs non-renewable resources in general (ie not just energy). I searched but I have not found anything nearly as good as your video. Thank you.

I just finished a module, which explains the difference between energy "sources" vs "resources". A resource is usually considered renewable based upon two things. 1st: Is the original energy source renewable (i.e. wind or coal). 2nd Is it sustainable (i.e. it can been maintained w/out causing severe ecological damage).

[Rachel Fulton]

If you combine the material in this video (i.e. What is a (non)renewable source) with the module's (i.e. What is the difference between source/resource) then your learners would be able to identify renewable resources based upon the energy source being utilized. Feel free to email me for the eLearning module if it would help :)

Nice job Rachel. I am going to show it to my 6th grade students in preparation for a test. You're awesome!
