A renewable energy resource is one that is being (or can be) replenished as it is used. The uses of energy resources include: transport, electricity generation and heating. Students should be able to: describe the main energy sources available distinguish between energy resources that are renewable and energy resources that are non-renewable compare ways that different energy resources are used, the uses to include transport, electricity generation and heating understand why some energy resources are more reliable than others$	$WS 4.4$
