Today we discussed Natural Resources. The students were given a set of twenty-four cards, and with a partner, they had to separate those cards into 6 groups of four. The six groups were Rocks, Soil, Water, Gases in the atmosphere, Oil and Sunlight. I came around to the groups when they were done to check for understanding.
Our Big Book of Vocab Words were:
Fossil Fuels
Renewable Resources
Non-renewable Resources
Inexhaustible Resources
There are important examples of each that they need to know.
Renewable Non-Renewable Inexhaustible
Animals Oil Sunlight
Plants Natural Gas Wind
Water Coal Ocean Tides
Air Minerals
Soil
*Minerals come from rocks
* Wind is caused by the uneven heating of the Earth's surface by the Sun
* Ocean Tides are caused by the moon's gravitational pull on the Earth; we have 4 a day, 2 high tides and 2 low tides
* All fossil fuels are Non-Renewable Resources
