is “the conversion of light energy into chemical energy by living organisms”. The raw materials used in this process are carbon dioxide and water; the energy source used is sunlight and the end products are oxygen and carbohydrates. This process can be thought of as the most biochemical pathway, since nearly all life on Earth is dependent either directly or indirectly on it. A solar cell is “any device that directly converts the energy in light into electrical energy through the process of photovoltaics”

fixtures because of documented savings on energy use and life-cycle maintenance costs. In our technology today, one of the most useful devices to be invented is the “Night Detector Lights”. This device is off used in special facilities and even in common households. This device give luminance in the sight of darkness, it is after all a night detector. A.

Tuckman’s Model of Group Development Forming: in which the group is just coming together. It is often characterized by shyness, uncertainty and diffidence among the members, although extravert members may rapidly assume some kind of leadership.

fueled his desire to change the world as a whole at the beginning of the project, but near the end of the project her realized he should first start small by changing himself individually and the community around him to be more eco-friendly.

Project evaluation I think over the course of this unit I have learnt a lot, not only in technique and skill at taking photographs, but I have also learnt quite a lot about organisation and time management. Things such as light painting with torches I had never even heard of, let alone know how to do, and other things like panning and creating movement blur are things that I now know and can use in the future. Plus now that I know a lot more about photo-taking techniques I can improve on them and

for you try to drive eco-friendly cars. Cut back on energy consumption by lowering your heater in winter or raising it in summer. Install insulation in walls to retain heat or coolness. Replace old candescent light bulbs with new compact fluorescent ones. They last for years instead of months, don’t use a lot of power, and generate little heat. Fix leaking faucets when they start, one drop a second is 20 kilowatts a month! Using renewable energy is another great way to reduce harmful emissions.

Andy Darling is your guide Saturday 15 January 2005 The Guardian 1: Jogging/running The simplest yet most effective exercise in terms of caloric expenditure, because it's an entirely weightbearing activity, requiring greater energy output than if you were seated or supported by water. Softer surfaces require harder work and result in still higher caloric expenditure. Great for fat burning, and for the cardiovascular system (heart and lungs). Not so good in terms of muscle toning

SOLAR ENERGY Introduction This document will educate us on the theory that energy is around us. It will be proven that energy comes from many forms and in fact is created multiple ways. Photosynthesis and the process that a semi-conductor solar can go through to make energy are just two ways in which energy is created for life forms here on earth. This study will allow us to see by comparing the two it’s evident that while they are alike how they use the sun to produce energy, they
