A water wheel is a hydropower system that creates energy by extracting power from the flow of water. Energy is in everything. There are two types of energy renewable and nonrenewable. Renewable energy is energy that can be used over and over again. Nonrenewable energy is energy that cannot be used again. Nonrenewable energy is mostly used from fossil fuels.

examples of renewable energy are wind, water, wood, solar, and geothermal energy.

Examples of nonrenewable energy are coal, natural gas, and oil.

Most of our energy is from nonrenewable energy sources but we are slowly advancing to use more renewable energy sources.
