Drag and drop the statements on the correspondent slots to classify advantages and disadvantages of solar energy.

Solar energy is a renewable energy resource.
Solar cells can only convert 20% of the solar energy into electricity.
If there are many cloudy days, solar panels may not generate enough electricity.
The equipment is relatively expensive to manufacture and maintain.
The Sun provides a tremendous amount of energy to Earth.
Solar energy can be harnessed in any location that receives significant amount of sunshine.
Solar power cannot be created during the night.
Storing Solar Energy is not yet efficient.
Harnessing solar energy does not affect the environment.

Match the following non-renewable resources.

Draggable item		Corresponding Item
Natural gas		A solid material formed from swamp plants that died millions of years ago.
Coal		A liquid fuel formed from tiny marine animals that died in the ocean millions of years ago
Oil		Forms the same way as oil. Over millions of years, tiny dead animals are pressed down by rocks and mud. The pressure forms tiny bubbles of gas
