Grade 9 Earth Science | Natural Resource Management | Conservation & Renewable Energy

Описание: In this topic, students learn how humans depend on natural resources — from minerals and water to forests and fossil fuels — and why managing them wisely is essential for sustainability.

We begin by defining renewable (solar, wind, hydro) and nonrenewable (coal, oil, gas) resources, explaining how their use affects the environment. Students explore how mining, energy production, and agriculture change landscapes and ecosystems.

Real examples show both the benefits and consequences of human resource use — from wind farms and solar panels to deforestation and oil spills. Students also learn about sustainable resource management, recycling, and innovation in green technology.

By the end, they’ll be able to:
✅ Differentiate between renewable and nonrenewable resources
✅ Explain why resource management is important
✅ Understand the impact of overuse and pollution
✅ Identify ways individuals can support sustainability

This topic builds awareness of how science, engineering, and responsibility work together to preserve Earth’s resources for the future.
