SESSION 2: "NATURAL RESOURCES -NOUNS"

​Why are Resources Important?

​Can you imagine a world without air? With no land? With no water?

​

People couldn’t live without air to breathe, water to drink, and land to walk on.

​

Those three things are some of our planet’s most important resources.

​

​What is Renewable

• ​​That means they can be “made new again”.

• ​Example: Water, animals (cows, sheeps, rabbits, pigs) , plants (cotton, apple tree, lemon tree, orange tree), sun energy, wind, etc.

​Non-Renewable Resources

​

​These resources can only be "used once" and then they are gone.

​

Although the earth can make more of most of them, that process takes thousands or millions of years in many cases.

​Example: minerals, natural gas, oil, etc
