Identify natural resources and the types of renewable energy with 24 renewable and nonrenewable resource task cards.
Renewable and Nonrenewable Resources for Kids
Do your students understand the difference between renewable and nonrenewable resources? In a nutshell, renewable resources can be quickly replenished by the Earth. Examples of renewable energy sources include wind, solar, and hydropower. On the other hand, nonrenewable resources include coal, fossil fuels, and oil.
Teach Starter has created a set of task cards that your students can use to help them identify and determine the advantages/disadvantages of different energy sources and natural resources found on Earth.
Types of Question Include:
- Given an image, identify whether the energy source shown is renewable or nonrenewable.
- Given an image, determine whether a natural resource is renewable or nonrenewable.
- Determine and discuss the positive and negative effects of alternative energy sources.
- When given two options, determine which option is better or worse for the environment.
Through this activity, students will show they can determine if something is a renewable or nonrenewable energy source or natural resource.
