In this section, students engage in activities and projects that highlight the importance of natural resources, particularly exhaustible resources like coal, petroleum, and natural gas. The section emphasizes classifying materials, mapping resources, and understanding energy consumption in households.
This section aims to enhance students' understanding of exhaustible natural resources through interactive activities and projects. Students are encouraged to classify various materials as natural or man-made, giving them an understanding of their dependency on these resources. An activity involving group consumption illustrates the concept of resource depletion, where students simulate consumer behavior across generations. Furthermore, students are tasked with marking locations of natural resources like coal and petroleum on an outline map of India, and conducting surveys on energy consumption patterns. This approach reinforces their knowledge of resource conservation and the environmental implications of energy use.
Activities include: 1. Classifying daily materials into natural and man-made categories. 2. Simulating resource consumption across generational groups. 3. Mapping the distribution of important fossil fuels in India. 4. Surveying family energy use trends. 5. Investigating the locations of thermal power plants.
These activities are designed to familiarize students with the significance and limitations of natural resources, prompting discussions about sustainability and conservation.
Natural Resources: Materials from nature that we use.
Exhaustible Resources: Resources that can be depleted over time.
Fossil Fuels: Energy resources derived from ancient organisms.
Sustainability: Meeting current needs without compromising future generations.
Conservation: Responsible management of resources.
Fuel from fossils, coal so old, we use it wisely, our future's gold.
Once upon a time, ancient plants turned to coal, millions of years passed, making a great role in energy for generations. We must use it wisely, knowing it’s a treasure!
To remember natural resources: A.B.W.'s (Air, Biotic, Water) are from nature.
Coal, petroleum, and natural gas are examples of fossil fuels.
Daily materials can be classified as either natural (like wood and metal) or man-made (like plastic and glass).
Surveys about energy consumption can show trends of how families are using resources over time.
