3 What are natural resources? Natural resources come from Earth. A natural resource is something that people can use that comes from nature. Sun, water, and air are natural resources. Some natural resources can get used up. Oil and coal are resources that get used up. Some natural resources can be replaced. We can plant new trees. Some natural resources cannot be used up. Sun, water, and air cannot be used up. 2 3
4 Water and Air Water is a natural resource. Plants and animals need water to live. People need water too. People use water to drink, cook, and clean. Ponds and rivers have fresh water. Oceans have salt water. Air is a natural resource too. Plants, animals, and people need air. Wind is air that moves. 4 5
5 What are rocks and soil like? Rocks are natural resources. Rocks can be big or small. A boulder is a very big rock. Wind, rain, and ice can break up rocks. Sand is made of small pieces of rock. Rocks are made up of minerals. Minerals are a natural resource. Gold and silver are minerals. Quartz is a mineral. People make glass from quartz. People use sand to make roads. People use rocks to make houses. Quartz 6 7
6 Soil Soil covers most of the land. Soil is a natural resource. Soil is made of clay, sand, and humus. It also has air and water in it. Sandy soil is rough and dry. Clay soil is soft and smooth. Humus is a part of soil that comes from living things. Sand Some animals live in soil. Different plants grow in different kinds of soil. Clay Humus 8 9
7 How do people use plants? Plants are natural resources. People use plants for many things. People use wood to build homes and to make paper. This T-shirt is made from a cotton plant. People use wheat to make bread
8 How does Earth change? Earth changes all the time. Water and wind move rocks and soil. This is called erosion. Plants can stop erosion. Their roots keep soil in place. Weather can change Earth. Water can break up rocks. This is called weathering. Animals can change Earth. They dig homes and break up the soil
9 How can people help protect Earth? People can change Earth. People can harm the land, air, and water. This is called pollution. Pollution hurts plants and animals. People try to stop pollution. People want to keep Earth clean. They want to keep plants and animals safe
10 Reduce, Reuse, Recycle Trash is a kind of pollution. When we pick up trash, we help stop pollution. Did you know milk cartons can be recycled? The milk cartons in this picture were used to make a playground! People can recycle trash. To recycle means to change something so that it can be used again
11 People can reuse things to stop pollution. To reuse means to use over and over again. People can reduce the natural resources they use. To reduce means to use less
12 Protecting Plants and Animals People cut down trees. Animals live in the trees. The animals lose their homes. People can plant new trees for the animals. Forests change all the time. Trees can burn in forest fires. The wind can blow down trees. New trees take a long time to grow back
13 People must be careful with campfires. Campfires can start a forest fire. Forest fires can kill many trees and animals. Plants and animals can also lose their homes when people build where they live. A refuge is a safe place for plants and animals. People can visit a refuge and enjoy all the plants and animals living in it. Earth gives us many natural resources. Let s enjoy them and help keep them safe! 22 23
