    (MWh)




    CO2Emissions
    (tons)




    Sulfur Dioxide, NOx, and Other Emissions
    (tons)




    Methane emissions
    (tons)




    Solid Waste Output (tons)




    Safety


    (# deaths from air pollution and accidents)



    Nuclear



    Natural Gas



    Coal



    Solar



    Biomass



    Wind



    Hydropower





  2. Write a Lab Report using the scientific method. Your report will include all of the following:


    • Purpose:In 2–3 sentences, state the purpose of the Analysis of Energy Sources Lab.


    • Introduction:In a detailed paragraph, summarize what is currently known about renewable and nonrenewable energy sources. Use the background information provided in the Unit 4 Lab: Analysis of Energy Sources.


    • Hypothesis/predicted outcome:In 1 sentence, state what you expect the results of the lab procedure will be.


    • Methods:In a detailed paragraph, summarize the steps you performed to collect the data in this lab exercise. The goal of the Methods section is to include enough information that others can duplicate your process and obtain the same results


    • Results/outcome:In a detailed paragraph, summarize your data.


    • Discussion/analysis:In a detailed paragraph, discuss whether you obtained the expected results and what you learned from the lab.



  3. Submit your completed assignment in one of the following ways:

    • Upload your completed Lab Report.

    • Upload an image with your completed Lab Report.

    • Type in your responses to the Lab Report in the IP submission text box.

Title: The Effect of Energy Sources on Environmental Pollution and Human Health
 Purpose
The purpose of the Analysis of Energy Sources Lab is to understand the different natural resources
available for energy extraction both renewable and non renewable energy source. This lab helps
us to decide which sources is best for use and what are the effects of non renewable resource.
 Introduction
With the increase in population and livelihood, the demand for electricity is day-by-day increasing
and in order to meet the energy demand, the natural resources present are utilized for energy
generation. Natural resources are the material existing on earth naturally without human
interventions, which are used to support life and meet people's needs. Some of the natural
resources, which are used for energy generation, are solar energy, wind energy, mineral ores,
geothermal energy, tidal energy, wave energy, oil ores, etc. There are two types of energy
resources, Renewable and non-renewable energy sources which are utilized for the generation of
electricity. There are different energy sources...
