B MAKE A PROPOSAL FOR EACH ITEM IN THIS EXERCISE

1. New ways of electricity generation in Colombia

2. Implementation of the clean energy in our region, Valle del Cauca.
3. Write about a solution for the remote areas in relation with power generation
4. Make a possible proposal to solve generation in urban areas in relation to the clean
energy.
 Amber is a very pretty goldish brown "stone" that sparkles orange and yellow in sunlight.
Amber is actually fossilized tree sap! It's the stuff used in the movie "Jurassic Park."
Millions of years ago insects got stuck in the tree sap. Small insects which had bitten the
dinosaurs, had blood with DNA from the dinosaurs in the insect's bodies, which were
now fossilized in the amber.

Ancient Greeks discovered that amber behaved oddly - like attracting feathers - when
rubbed by fur or other objects. They didn't know what it was that caused this
phenomenon. But the Greeks had discovered one of the first examples of static
electricity (see Chapter 3).

The Latin word, electricus, means to "produce from amber by friction."

DEVELOPING

1.

So, we get our English word electricity from Greek and Latin words that were about amber.

2. Here's something you can do to see the importance of electricity. Take a walk through your
school, house or apartment and write down all the different appliances, devices and machines that
use electricity. You'll be amazed at how many things we use each and every day that depend on
electricity.

3. hydraulic energy, wind power, solar energy, fuels

5.

6. The three main particles making up an atom are the proton, the neutron and the electron.

7. But no matter how many particles an atom has, the number of electrons usually needs to be the
same as the number of protons. If the numbers are the same, the atom is called balanced, and it is
very stable.

8. An atom that loses electrons has more protons than electrons and is positively charged

9. ." Electrons can be made to move from one atom to another. When those electrons move
between the atoms, a current of electricity is created.

10. The electrons also want to be part of a balanced atom, so they have a strong attraction to the
positive atoms. So, the positive attracts the negative to balance out.

11. Electrons, electricity, electronic and other words that begin with "electr..." all originate
from the Greek word "elektor," meaning "beaming sun." In Greek, "elektron" is the word for
amber.
