Anything that is found in nature that can be used by living things is a natural resource. This includes water, forests, fossil fuels, minerals, plants, animals and even air.

We get natural resources from nature.

Trees are a natural resource, we make many products from them. Do you know what we get from trees?

If you said we get wood from trees you are right on, but did you know we also make paper from trees? We use wood to make furniture, house frames, utensils, pencils and many other items.

Trees and other plants also produce oxygen which we need to breathe and help keep the earth from over heating. If we cut down all the trees what might happen to the animals that live there? And to us?

Water is a really important natural resource. All living things need fresh water to live. We drink it, wash in it, cook with it, get food from it, grow plants with it and many other things.

Another natural resource is rocks, we get rocks from the earth in the ground under our feet. Many rocks contain minerals that can be made into metals. We use rocks to help us build and create.

This is iron ore that has been dug up from a mine. We use iron ore to make metal called steel. Can you list some things made of steel? Turn over to see some objects made of steel.

All of these objects are made of steel!

Sand is another natural resource we use sand to make glass. Glass is made by heating up sand. The glass is then heated again to make objects, like windows and jars.

Fossil fuels are a natural resource

Coal, oil and natural gas are all fossil fuels. They form deep in the Earth from dead plants and animals. It takes millions of years for them to form.

We use these fuels to make our cars, heaters, ovens, aeroplanes, buses, trains and many other items, work.

This is a coal station that produces electricity it also causes lots of pollution!

Plastic is s material that we make objects from, but where does it come from?

You will never guess.

It is made from oil, and oil is made up of plants and dinosaurs that died millions of years ago!

Oil is a natural resource as it comes from nature we use it to fuel our cars and make plastic objects.
