To use picture
clues and video
clips to understand
the importance of
natural resources
to the
environment.
Grade C
All will be able to describe what is
meant by ‘renewable’ and ‘nonrenewable’ (natural) resources
and give examples of each.
Grade B
Most will be able to explain what
is meant by energy
conservation and how human
beings can help with this.
Grade A/A*
Some will be able to assess what
the implications would be if the
world ran out of natural
resources (fossil fuels).
Copy the following table into your books…
RENEWABLE
NON-RENEWABLE
Now make a list of everything you
are wearing and place it into the
necessary column (include things
like jewellery, makeup, hair
products etc…)
On your mini whiteboards…
What is a renewable
resource?
Resources which replace
themselves or can be replaced by
humans.
What is a non-renewable
resource?
Resources that cannot be replaced
once they are taken from the
environment; once we have used
them up they are gone forever.
Copy these definitions into your book – leave 5
lines between each to add some examples.
Look at the
following pictures
and decide whether
it is renewable or
non-renewable.
Add each example
to the correct
definition in your
books.
Grade C

How are non-renewable
resources (fossil fuels) used?
Make a list in the back of your
books of all the used you can
think of...

Now let’s feedback your ideas....
What is energy
conservation?
What can we
as humans do
to help
conserve
energy?
Grade B
Most will be able
to explain what
is meant by
energy
conservation
and how human
beings can help
with this.
By now you get the idea that humans are reliant on non-renewable resources (fossil fuels).
Whether it happens in a few years or a few hundred years, if humans continue to use
these resources as they are at the moment that will eventually run out.
Current estimates suggest:
Oil: 46 years (depleted in 2055)
Natural gas: 63 years (depleted in 2072)
Coal: 119 years (depleted in 2128)
What would happen if fossil fuels
ran out tomorrow?
Think about what you have learnt today and write
a response to this.
Think about the impact it would have on peoples
lives and how they may have to adapt
Explain how the scarcity of
natural resources
threatens the planet.
