1. Burn fossil fuel to make heat 2. Use heat to boil water and make steam 3. Use steam to spin an enormous turbine 4. The turbine spins huge magnets in the generator, making electricity Steam Water How a fossil fuel power plant works E Metal Wire E E Generator E Fossil Fuel Magnet Tu rb in e E E E Home

No. 2 First some background: everything is made of atoms – Wood including this pencil magnified 10 times Home
The wood is made of cells Cells magnified 1000 times Home
Cells have parts inside them, like DNA magnified 10, 000 times Home
DNA and everything else are made of atoms Atoms magnified 50, 000 times O C C H Home
Atoms are made of a few parts: protons, electrons, and neutrons O C C H C C E H E N P P N E Home
The basic parts of an atom Key N Neutron (0) P Proton (+) E Electron (-) The electrons spin around the outside of the nucleus. The protons and neutrons are stuck together in the center of the atom; this center is called the nucleus. There is a lot of space between electrons and the nucleus. E E N P P N E Home
