Step-by-step solution for: Renewable and non-renewable energy - Cloze Test Worksheet ...
Let's solve this worksheet step by step. The goal is to fill in the blanks using words from the word bank provided.
---
cow, turbines, waste, burning, sunny, spin, pumped, had, blades, cannot, natural, deep, lava, coal, energy, waves, cook, electricity, gas, uranium, water, solar, earth, heat, convert, power
---
> ________ comes from natural resources that are naturally replenished, such as sunlight, wind and waves.
Answer: *Renewable*
✔ Because renewable energy comes from sources that are naturally replenished.
---
> Non-renewable energy comes from ___________ resources that are not naturally replenished, such as oil and coal.
Answer: *natural*
✔ "Natural" fits here because both renewable and non-renewable energies come from natural resources — but non-renewable ones are finite.
---
> ______ is used to cook our food and to heat our homes and water.
Answer: *Energy*
✔ Energy is what we use to cook, heat, etc.
> We use _________ to power lots of things, such as lights, televisions and computers.
Answer: *electricity*
✔ Electricity powers electronic devices.
> We need energy to __________ our cars. We use diesel, petrol or electricity for fuel.
Answer: *power*
✔ We power our cars with fuel.
---
> If the ______ doesn't blow, or if it isn't very ________, then there may not be enough power for everyone.
Answer 1: *wind*
Answer 2: *sunny*
✔ Wind doesn't always blow; sun doesn't always shine — so these are limitations.
---
> ________ energy comes from the sun. The sun can be used to give us _______ energy. Solar panels are used to ______ sunlight into electricity.
Answer 1: *Solar*
Answer 2: *heat* (or *energy* — but “heat” fits better)
But let’s check: “give us ______ energy” — best fit is heat or electricity, but since the next sentence says “convert sunlight into electricity,” the second blank should be electricity?
Wait — let's read carefully:
> The sun can be used to give us _______ energy.
We want a type of energy. Solar energy → gives us heat and light. But the next sentence talks about converting sunlight into electricity.
So likely:
- First blank: *Solar*
- Second blank: *heat* (because the sun gives us heat)
- Third blank: *convert*
But wait — the word convert is in the word bank.
So:
> Solar energy comes from the sun. The sun can be used to give us heat energy. Solar panels are used to convert sunlight into electricity.
✔ That makes sense.
---
> ________ turbines are used to convert wind energy to electricity. The wind blows the ________ around and this movement is converted into electricity. A group of wind ____________ is called a wind farm.
Answer 1: *Wind*
Answer 2: *blades*
Answer 3: *turbines*
✔ All match perfectly:
- Wind turbines
- Blades spin when wind blows
- Group of wind turbines = wind farm

> We use electricity to power lots of things, such as lights, televisions and computers.
> We need energy to power our cars. We use diesel, petrol or electricity for fuel.
> Why don’t we use renewable energy all the time?
> If the wind doesn’t blow, or if it isn’t very sunny, then there may not be enough power for everyone.
> Solar energy comes from the sun. The sun can be used to give us heat energy. Solar panels are used to convert sunlight into electricity.
> Wind turbines are used to convert wind energy to electricity. The wind blows the blades around and this movement is converted into electricity. A group of wind turbines is called a wind farm.

1. First Sentence:
> ________ comes from natural resources that are naturally replenished, such as sunlight, wind and waves.
Answer: *Renewable*
✔ Because renewable energy comes from sources that are naturally replenished.
---
2. Second Sentence:
> Non-renewable energy comes from ___________ resources that are not naturally replenished, such as oil and coal.
Answer: *natural*
✔ "Natural" fits here because both renewable and non-renewable energies come from natural resources — but non-renewable ones are finite.

5. Solar Energy Section:
> ________ energy comes from the sun. The sun can be used to give us _______ energy. Solar panels are used to ______ sunlight into electricity.
Answer 1: *Solar*
Answer 2: *heat* (or *energy* — but “heat” fits better)

- Third blank: *convert*
But wait — the word convert is in the word bank.
So:
> Solar energy comes from the sun. The sun can be used to give us heat energy. Solar panels are used to convert sunlight into electricity.
✔ That makes sense.
