COMMUNITIES AND RESOURCES

Starter: Check the tag on the back of your shirt. What is your shirt

made of?

PREDICT

Predict which of these are natural resources

A chair A tree Flowers The Sun A car

Natural Resources

Environment: the water, soil, air, and living things around you

Natural Resources: things found in NATURE that are useful to people

MAIN IDEA: PEOPLE USE NATURAL RESOURCES EVERY DAY!

Natural Resources

3 Different Kinds of Resources

1. RENEWABLE: resources that can be replaced, or again. (Think of the prefix “re”…”re” means _____________________

2. NONRENEWABLE: resources that CANNOT be replaced or used again. (Think of the prefix “non”….”non” means ________________

3. FLOW: resources that ARE renewable, but cannot be used all the time.

….Just go with the flow!

RENEWABLE RESOURCES

Trees are renewable. The seeds from vegetables are renewable.

NONRENEWABLE RESOURCES

Oil that we drill from wells in the earth are nonrenewable. Once it is used, it is gone forever!

Flow Resources

Wind is a flow resource. People do not CONTROL when the wind comes. When it is there, we use it. When it isn’t, we cannot use it. This is a FLOW resource.

Communities Use Resources

MAIN IDEA:

People often live where there are natural resources they can use!

Example: Miami, Florida has warm beaches and a sunny climate. These are two very important natural resources!

Communities Use Resources

California built the Oroville Dam
