A renewable energy supply (one that won't 'run out!) that takes its name from the Latin word for the Sun and may well be the energy source for your calculator.

A renewable energy supply (one that won't 'run out') that you may associate especially with Holland. It has long been widely used to power mills and is becoming popular again especially in coastal areas to produce electricity.

A renewable energy supply (one that won't 'run out') that could only be used off the coast. (Not so little 'ducks' are used to harness this natural power !).

Geysers are an example of this form of energy. It originates in the radioactivity of rocks deep within the earth. It is widely used to produce electricity in Iceland, Kenya, New Zealand and the U.S.A.

This form of energy comes fron the moon! Think about how the moon in orbit has on effect on the earth and how this effect could be used as an energy supply, Britain has plans to harness this energy form and it already being used in France.

The names of four 'non-renewable' energy resources ore within the grid. Three of these are 'fossil fuels', the fourth is the name of a very precious element that is used in the very latest kind of power stations. Con you find them all?

The initials are commonly used as an abbreviation for this energy source, those and each of the three words tn the name of this renewable energy source can be found in the grid. It is an energy resource that makes use of the energy of falling water.

This source of energy is the most useful form of energy for our modern world. We burn fossil fuels in power stations to make this form of energy source so that we can light our homes safely and brightly and run our nmany gadgets that have been specifically designed to use this energy form. Life would be very different if we did not have this energy form readily available to use.

The precious rare naturally occuring element that was on answer to question 6 can be used to produce this form of energy. Two words are commonly used to describe this form of energy. Both can be found in the grid. Can you find them both?

If I lift a ball to a position high above the ground it gains this form of energy. When I let it go, it changes that form of energy another form of energy. Find the words for both of these forms in the grid!

This energy form is vital to our existence. We need it to live and grow. Food acts as a store of this kind of energy. We also need it to keep ourselves warm (fuels are a store of this kind of energy) and produce electricity from it (batteries are a store of this kind of energy).

Alexander Grahan Bell designed a piece of equipment that converted this energy form into electrical energy so that it might be used for communications. He did this first in 1676 and it transformed human communication systems.

This energy form travels at 300.000,000 metres per second from the Sun to the Earth. Plants act as energy converters using this energy form and water via photosynthesis to store this energy. Without it the plants and we would die. You could say this form of energy was not heavy ;)

We use fuels to convert chemical energy to this kind of energy when the weather is cold. We also produce a lot of this energy form as a side effect when we try our hand at energy conversion using machines and it can be quite a nuisance! (Be careful - there is a 'red herring' in the grid!)

This word is the S.I. (System International d'Unites - the recognised Internationally agreed) unit of energy. You use about one of these units to stir a cup of tea. It is the surname of a man with the forenames 'James Prescott' (1818-1869). He was an English physicist who spent time on his honeymoon in Switzerland measuring the temperature at the top and bottom of a waterfall to see how much heat was produced by the falling water! (He must have had a very understanding wife - quite a gem - pun intended!)

(Although this word is taken from the surname of a person it is not vrltten with a capital letter - unless it starts a sentence. The abbreviation, however, must be written as an uppercase letter).
