2 pages🌍 Natural Resources — Renewable & Non-Renewable
🌍 Two Types of Resources
📖 Reading Passage
Natural resources are things from nature that people use. Renewable ♻️ resources can be replaced — like sunlight, wind, water, and trees (if we replant). Non-renewable ⛽ resources like coal, oil, and gas take millions of years to form. Once used, they're gone forever and often create pollution. We can conserve by using less, reusing items, and recycling. Every small action helps!

About This Natural Resources Worksheet
This free printable natural resources worksheet introduces core science concepts through observation, classification, and simple inquiry. Students connect vocabulary to the real world with examples they can see and touch.
What Students Will Learn
Students learn to observe carefully, classify objects and living things, and explain basic scientific concepts in their own words. They practice the inquiry cycle — observe, ask, predict, and check — that underlies all science.
How Teachers Can Use This Worksheet
- Live demonstration: Open with a simple demonstration or real object related to the topic so students observe before they label.
- Sorting station: Have students sort pictures or objects into categories before completing the worksheet, activating prior knowledge.
- Vocabulary check: Ask students to explain each new term in their own words, not just repeat the definition.
