 MOTIVATION
“Collecting Data from the Label”

1. Group the class into 3 groups. Make them into a circle

4.2 Activity position.

2. Find any plastic, bottle, or any material that has label or

ingredients in its back. (3mins.) Read the label or
ingredients on its back. On a piece of paper, write down the
main ingredients that were used to make that food/drink.

3. Now, think of the materials that were used to package the

product. Write these materials on your list.

(Each group will present their list of ingredients/products

from the past activity. Next to each material, write the
resources from which it came.)
1. How did you find the activity?
2. What resources were used to make 4.3 Analysis
the product?
3. What resources were used to
package them?
4. Where do these resources come
from?

4.4 Abstraction
Let the students identify the pictures
whether it is a renewable or non-
renewable resource.
4.5 PRACTICE
/
APPLICATIO Part I. Give examples of products you

N have in yourself. Example, clothes. Give

other example beside this and write it on
the list on your paper. Next to each
material, write the resources from which it
came from.

Part II. From the list of the resources,

which of the following are renewable?
 Conserving and Protecting Natural Resources
There are two types of natural resources on Earth - renewable and nonrenewable. What is the difference between these two kinds
of resources?

The food people eat comes from plants and animals. Plants are replaced by new ones after each harvest. People also eat animals.
Animals have the capacity to reproduce and are replaced when young animals are born. Water in a river or in a well may dry up.
But when the rain comes the water is replaced. Plants, animals, and water are resources that can be replaced. They are renewable
resources.

Most plants grow in top soil. Rain and floods wash away top soil. Can top soil be replaced easily? Soil comes from rocks and
materials from dead plants and animals. It takes thousands of years for soil to form. Soil cannot be replaced easily, or it takes a
very long time to replace. It is a nonrenewable resource.

Metals like copper, iron, and aluminum are abundant on Earth. But people are using them up fast. They have to dig deeper into
the ground to get what they need. Coal, oil and natural gas (fossil fuels) were formed from plants and animals that lived on Earth
millions of years ago. It takes millions of years for dead plants and animals to turn into fossil fuels. Soil, coal, oil and natural gas
are nonrenewable resources.
 Protecting Resources in Your Own Way

All resources used by humans, including fuels, metals, and building materials, come from
the Earth. Many of these resources are not in endless supply. It has taken many thousands and
millions of years to develop and accumulate these resources. To conserve natural resources is to
protect or use them wisely without wasting them or using them up completely. Conserving
natural resources can make them last and be available for future generations. This is what
sustainability of natural resources means. Each one of us should think about how to make things
sustainable. Remember: The lives of future generations depend on how we use natural resources
today.
