Slide 4 / 95 Natural Resources Return to Table of Contents Slide 5 / 95 Teacher Page For this lesson you will need the following: ~ A copy of the Natural Resources Activity Page for each student. This will be the guide for their scavenger hunt around the room. ~ Once the students are done their activity, you will all discuss their findings. Make sure you collect their activity sheets for documentation and completion. Click to go to Activity Page Slide 6 / 95 Natural Resources What are natural resources? · Living and nonliving supplies that are found naturally on the Earth · Provided from nature Click above
Slide 7 / 95 Distribution of Natural Resources Natural resources are not evenly distributed on the Earth. Where there are more natural resources, there are more people who live in those areas. This map shows the distribution of the population in the world. What connection can we make with the map above? The more populated an area is the more natural resources there are.

Slide 10 / 95 Renewable Resources Renewable resources are any natural resource that can be replenished naturally over time. Some examples of renewable resources are: · wind · sun · trees · wildlife Slide 11 / 95 Nonrenewable Resources Nonrenewable resources are resources that do not replenish themselves within this geological age. Some examples of nonrenewable resources are: · gas · oil · copper · gold · coal · fossil fuels Slide 12 / 95 fuel s l timber a m n i h natural gas a s i f minerals All resources come oil from Earth! plants n e g y x o soil oceans t h g i n l u s y g r e n e s e e r t flowers l a o c
Slide 13 / 95 1 Natural resorces do not come from Earth. True Answer False Slide 14 / 95 2 ______ is an example of a natural resource. A A bird B Coal Answer C Air D Water E All of the above Slide 15 / 95 3 Natural resources are either renewable or non- renewable. True Answer False
Slide 16 / 95 Activity - Natural Resources Scavenger Hunt You will go on a scavenger hunt around room using the Natural Resources Activity Sheet. After completing the scavenger hunt, we will have a discussion about the findings. Slide 17 / 95 Renewable Resources Return to Table of Contents Slide 18 / 95 Teacher Page For this lesson you will need the following: ~ 1 pringles can per group (2 students per group) ~ 1 skewer per group ~ 1 hot dog per group ~ 1 piece of transparency per group ~ tape Go to Activity Page
Slide 19 / 95 Renewable Resources Renewable resources are any resources that can be replenished naturally over time. Some examples of renewable resources are: · Solar energy (sun) · Wind energy (wind) · Hydropower energy (water) · Biomass energy (living things) · Geothermal energy (heat) Slide 20 / 95 Solar Energy Solar energy is energy from the sun. It is our most powerful source of energy. Solar energy can be used for heating, lighting and cooling buildings, generating electricity, heating water, and a variety of industrial processes. Slide 21 / 95 Wind Energy Energy from the wind is renewable. The energy of the wind has been used for centuries to sail ships and drive windmills that grind grain. Today, wind energy is captured by wind turbines and used to generate electricity.
Slide 22 / 95 Hydropower Water is a renewable resource, constantly recharged by the global cycle of evaporation and precipitation. Flowing water can be used to power water wheels that drive mechanical processes. Captured by turbines and generators, like those housed at many dams around the world, the energy of flowing water can be used to generate electricity. Slide 23 / 95 Hydropower Slide 24 / 95 Biomass Biomass is energy we get from burning organic or living matter. The most common biomass used is wood, but there are others such as crops, grasses and plants.
Slide 25 / 95 Biomass Biomass can be used to produce electricity and fuel for transportation or the manufacture products that would require the use of non-renewable fossil fuels. Slide 26 / 95 Geothermal Energy Geothermal energy is the heat from inside Earth. This heat produces steam and hot water that is used to power generators and produce electricity. It also has applications such as home heating and power generation for industry. Slide 27 / 95 Geothermal Energy Geothermal energy can be drawn from deep underground reservoirs by drilling, or from other geothermal reservoirs closer to the surface.
Slide 28 / 95 4 Renewable resources are resources that do not replenish themselves over time. True Answer False Slide 29 / 95 5 Biomass energy is energy that comes from burning natural resoures. True Answer False Slide 30 / 95 6 Solar energy is a renewable resource that comes from the _____________. A Moon Answer B Sun C Ground
Slide 31 / 95 7 Can renewable resources be seen on Earth in different forms of energy? Yes Answer No Slide 32 / 95 Activity - Solar Cooker We know that solar energy is energy from the sun. The sun rays beating down on the Earth is a form of energy. We are going to do an activity that will demonstrate solar energy, that involves using the energy from the sun to heat an "oven" to cook a hot dog.

Slide 34 / 95 Teacher Page For this lesson you will need the following materials 1 per student: ~ Cookie with chips, raisins or m&m’s. ~ Toothpicks ~ Paper clips ~ Graph paper environment Click to see the activity page Slide 35 / 95 Nonrenewable Natural Resources Nonrenewable resources are natural resources that do not replenish themselves within this geological age. Some examples of nonrenewable resources are: · nuclear energy · coal · petroleum · gas · oil Slide 36 / 95 Nuclear Energy Nuclear fission uses uranium to create energy. Nuclear energy is a nonrenewable resource because once the uranium is used, it is gone.
Slide 37 / 95 Fossil Fuels Fossil fuels form from ancient dead organisms. Some examples are coal, petroleum and natural gas. These are considered nonrenewable because they take millions of years to form. Slide 38 / 95 Coal Coal is a nonrenewable natural resource that comes from Earth and is naturally replenished but not at a rate that keeps up with how quickly it is being used. Coal is made up of plants and animals that have fossilized over many years. In order for people to get coal, it has to be mined from Earth's crust. Slide 39 / 95 8 Nonrenewable resources are resources that replenish themselves fast enough for us to use. True Answer False
Slide 40 / 95 9 With your tablemates, list 5 examples of Students type their answers here nonrenewable resources. Slide 41 / 95 10 Mining coal is an example of removing a nonrenewable resource from Earth and impacting the environment it is taken from. True Answer False Slide 42 / 95 Activity - Mining We are going to do an activity that will allow us to see how coal mining effects the environment that it comes from. You will complete this activity individually so that each of you is able to see how our environment is effected when we mine.
Slide 43 / 95 Quiz # 1 Slide 44 / 95 Fuels Return to Table of Contents Slide 45 / 95 Teacher Page For this lesson you will need the following: ~ Packet of dried peas or beans ~ Six airtight clear plastic bags ~ Water Click here for the activity
Slide 46 / 95 Fuels Let's review! There are two types of natural resources, what are they? Renewable and Nonrenewable Slide 47 / 95 Review: What are Renewable Resources? A resource that can be replenished naturally over time What are Nonrenewable Resources? A resource that cannot be replenished naturally over time Slide 48 / 95 Review: What is fuel? A fuel is a source of stored energy What are fossil fuels? Fossil Fuels are natural substances made deep in the earth from the remains of plants and animals
