Types of Resources and Their Roles

The video tutorial introduces students to three types of resources: human, natural, and capital. Human resources are people who provide goods and services, such as builders and teachers. Natural resources come from nature, like soil and water. Capital resources are man-made tools and buildings used to produce goods, such as hammers and factories. The teacher provides examples for each type and concludes with an activity for students to identify these resources at home.
