How to lay out the answer. Follow the frame, then write it in your own words.

  1. 1 · Define. Natural resources are materials from nature that we use.
  2. 2 · Renewable resources. Replaced by nature in a short time: sunlight, wind, water, forests.
  3. 3 · Non-renewable resources. A limited stock formed over millions of years: coal, petroleum, natural gas, minerals.
  4. 4 · Why manage them.
    • Rising population and demand
    • Non-renewables will run out
    • Overuse exhausts even renewables
    • Pollution from mining and burning fuels
  5. 5 · Link to daily life. LPG and petrol are non-renewable; sun-drying vadams uses free renewable energy.
  6. 6 · Close in one line. Wise use today keeps resources for future generations.

Scoring tip: Give three examples of each type. A two-column table works well.
