Examples of renewable energy are: (i) Solar energy (ii) Wave energy (iii) Hydro-energy from hydroelectric dams that have generators turned by water to produce electricity (e.g. Kanji dam, Shiroro dam). (iv) Biomass/Biofuels (v) Wind energy which is a source of energy used to run windmills to produce electricity. Wind power is not common in Nigeria as in overseas countries. Sun, wind and water will always exist and hence termed renewable energy. <h3><strong>Uses/Advantages of Renewable Energy</strong></h3> Renewable energy is useful or advantageous for the following reasons:

<h1><strong>CHANGES IN NON-LIVING THINGS</strong></h1> CONTENT <ol> <li>Types of Changes in Non-living Things</li> </ol>   <h2><strong>Types of Changes in Non-living Things</strong></h2> Non-living matter undergo changes i.e they can be made to change from one state to another. They can be made to form new substances. Changes in non-living things can be classified into physical changes and chemical changes.   <h2><strong>Physical Changes</strong></h2> Physical changes are changes in which no new substances are formed. A physical change is a temporary change, It is reversible. The composition of the new substance does not change when undergoing a physical change. Examples are: 1. Melting of candle wax. 2. Dissolution of salt in water to form a salt solution. Salt + Water <img class="alignnone size-full wp-image-14541" src="https://classhall.com/wp-content/uploads/2018/03/single-arrow.jpg" alt="right pointing arrow" width="77" height="7" /> Salt solution 3. All changes in state of matter are physical changes. Such as, vapourization of liquid to gases.

<h1>CHEMICALS</h1> CONTENT <ol> <li>Meaning of Chemicals</li> <li>Classification of Chemicals</li> <li>Chemical Safety</li> </ol>   <h2>Meaning of Chemicals</h2> Chemicals are substances with specific molecular composition. A chemical can be in form of gas, liquid, or solid. It can also be in simple or complex form. They can be in form of element, compound, and mixtures. <p style="text-align: center;"><img class="size-full wp-image-19641 aligncenter" src="https://classhall.com/wp-content/uploads/2018/06/mercury.jpg" alt="Mercury" width="353" height="228" /><strong>Mercury</strong></p> <span style="color: #008000;">Chemical elements are basic substances that are often used to make other products. Mercury is one of the few elements that are liquid at room temperature. This element is poisonous and can be absorbed through the skin.</span> <h2>Classification of Chemicals</h2> <h3>Classification Based on Uses</h3> <ol> <li>Pharmaceutical chemicals</li> <li>Nuclear chemicals</li> <li>Agrochemicals</li> <li>Industrial chemicals and</li> <li>Laboratory chemicals.</li> </ol> 1.<strong> Pharmaceutical Chemicals: </strong>They are chemicals formulated to act as remedy on living cells, they could be herbal or chemical synthesis. They are used for making of drugs. Such as antibiotics, antiseptics etc. 2.<strong> Nuclear Chemicals:</strong> They are chemicals that function based on the activities within the nucleus. Some of these chemicals can split or disintegrate (decay) through the process of radioactivity. It can be used for positive or negative purpose. E.g. it is used during X-ray. 3.<strong> Agrochemical:</strong> These are chemicals used for agricultural purposes. Examples are pesticides, herbicides, fertilizers, and organic manure.
