Earth Science Begins!

Earth Science tends to be a topic that fifth graders struggle with. I promise to make Earth science understandable, memorable, and fun!
We started the unit off with discussing natural resources. These are the basis for everything we study about in Earth Science. Tomorrow we will see the chart that has to be memorized!

Renewable Resource: Resources that can be replaced
plants
animals
water
soil
Air

Nonrenewable Resource: Resources that cannot be replaced
oil (fossil fuel)
coal (fossil fuel)
natural gas (fossil fuel)
minerals

Inexhaustible Resources: Resources that will not run out
Sunlight
Wind
Tides

Just another fun day in science!
