UNIT 5: Natural Resources & Alternative Energy

(LITHOPSHERE)   5 Days
Natural resources are useful materials from the 
Earth, such as coal, oil, natural gas, and trees. People use natural resources as raw materials to manufacture or create a range of modern conveniences. Water and food provide humans with sustenance and energy, for example, and fossil fuels generate heat as well as energy for transportation and industrial production. Many of the same natural resources used by people are important to plants and wildlife for survival as well. Continue to Concept 1 to learn more about our Earth's natural resources!

NC Standards

​EEn.2.2.1 Explain the consequences of human activities on the lithosphere( such as mining, deforestation, agriculture, overgrazing, urbanization and land use) past and present. 
EEn.2.2.2 Compare the various methods humans use to aquire traditional energy sources (such as peat, coal,oil,natural gas, nuclear fission, and wood)
EEn.2.8.1 Evaluate alternative energy technologies for use in North Carolina 
EEn.2.8.4 Evaluate the concept of "Reduce, Reuse, Recycle" in terms of impact on natural resources.

Essential Standards

1. What do natural resources provide?
2. What is the difference between renewable and non-renewable resources?
3. What happens when a non-renewable resource runs out?
4. What is Earth's most recyclable resource?
5. What methods are used to obtain energy resources? Which is the most efficient?
6. What is alternative energy?
7. Why do we need alternative energy?
8. What is the best form of alternative energy for North Carolina?
9. What is an ecological footprint?
10. What does it mean to reduce, reuse, and recycle?
11. What is conservation?
12. How can composting reduce the material in a landfill?
