Natural Resources (Earth Science in Action Series)
Natural resources are created by the Earth's processes and used as a source of energy for all life on Earth. While some are created over the course of millions of years, others are continually generated each day. Students will examine both renewable and non-renewable resources, touching on their sources and many uses. Discover the best methods of conserving non-renewable resources, including how they are recycled and cleaned.
