OUTCOMES I Can: Define a natural resource, give examples of natural resources and classify resources as natural or man-made. I Can: Explain the origin of synthetic materials and their impact on society. I Can: Gather and evaluate information to describe how synthetic materials are derived from natural resources. © Stephanie Elkowitz
NATURAL RESOURCES What is a natural resource? • Natural resources are things, materials, substances and components found in the natural environment. • Natural resources exist “naturally” or innately in the world. They are not the result of human manipulation or creation. © Stephanie Elkowitz Natural Resources
NATURAL RESOURCES • Natural resources can be living or nonliving. • Plants, animals, rocks and minerals are natural resources • The sun, fossil fuels, soil, water and wind are natural resources as well © Stephanie Elkowitz Natural Resources
NATURAL RESOURCES • We use natural resources for many things: • We use energy from natural resources for transportation, to generate electricity and to manufacture products. • We use natural resources for food. These resources – specifically plants and animals - provide energy that “fuels” our bodies. • We use natural resources to construct houses, buildings and roads.

SYNTHETIC PRODUCTS • Humans use natural resources to make synthetic products. • Synthetic productsare man-made materials and substances. • Synthetic products are artificial - they do NOT exist naturally in the environment. © Stephanie Elkowitz Natural Resources
SYNTHETIC PRODUCTS • A synthetic product is made through chemical reactions. • Natural resources are chemically changed or modified during chemical reactions to make synthetic products. • Humans can chemically change or modify all kinds of natural resources to make synthetic products. • We can make synthetic products from plants and animals as well as from metals, minerals and other natural resources found within Earth.

SYNTHETIC PRODUCTS • Humans make synthetic resources or products because they help us survive and/or live a certain way. • Many food items are man-made such as bread, pies and chips. • Many medicines are man=-made such as vaccines and cough medicine. • Clothing, electronics, cars and toys are man-made. © Stephanie Elkowitz Natural Resources
