Natural and Manmade Resources

Natural resources such as rocks, soil, plants, water, and air occur naturally in, on and above Earth’s surface. When man modifies a natural resource to make a new resource, we call that a manmade resource. Manmade resources include glass, plastic, fabric, lumber, and paper. Look at the items below. Classify them as natural or manmade resources. Match the manmade resource to the natural resource needed to make it.
