Hello everyone! Today, we are going to learn about something called resources. Resources are things that people use to help them do what they need to do every day. For example, when you brush your teeth, eat food, or travel, you are using resources!
There are three main types of resources: human resources, capital resources, and natural resources.
Human resources are people who help us by doing things for us. This is called providing a service. For example, doctors help us feel better when we are sick. They are human resources because they provide a service to keep us healthy. Chefs are also human resources because they make food for us to eat, which are called goods.
Capital resources are tools and equipment that help people do their jobs. For example, when chefs cook food, they use stoves, pots, and knives. These are capital resources because they help make the food we eat.
Natural resources are things we find in nature, like water, plants, and soil. These resources are not made by people but are very important for us to use.
Natural resources are very important for all living things, including humans, animals, and plants. That’s why it’s important to protect them, which is called conservation.
If we don’t take care of our natural resources, we might not have enough of them. This is called scarcity. For example, if we don’t have enough water, it can lead to a drought, which makes it hard for plants to grow.
Conserving water and keeping our air clean helps prevent scarcity and pollution. Pollution makes our air and water dirty and unsafe to use.
We use energy to power things in our homes, like TVs, stoves, and refrigerators. Some energy comes from burning coal or gas, which can be bad for the environment. Instead, we can use solar power from the sun or wind power to create electricity.
You can help save energy by using less electricity. The less energy we use, the less we need to produce.
Here are some ways you can help conserve natural resources:
By doing these things, we can all help protect the Earth and its resources!
How do you conserve water and energy at home? Share your ideas with us!
Thanks for learning with us today! Goodbye!
Resource Hunt: Go on a resource hunt around your home or school! Look for examples of human, capital, and natural resources. Write down or draw what you find. For example, a teacher is a human resource, a computer is a capital resource, and a tree is a natural resource. Share your findings with a friend or family member and explain why each item is a resource.
Conservation Challenge: Try to conserve water and energy at home for one week. Keep a chart to track your efforts. For example, mark a check each time you turn off the lights when leaving a room or when you use a cup to rinse your mouth instead of running water. At the end of the week, discuss with your family how these small actions help protect natural resources.
Creative Conservation Poster: Create a colorful poster that shows ways to conserve natural resources. Include drawings of actions like turning off lights, using a bike, or planting trees. Hang your poster in a place where others can see it and learn how they can help protect our planet too!

Hello everyone! Today we will learn about resources. What are resources? Let’s find out! A resource is something that people use to meet their needs. Think about the things you do every day: you brush your teeth, you eat food, and you travel from one place to another. In order to do these things, you need resources.
What kind of resources are there? There are three main types of resources: human resources, capital resources, and natural resources.
Human resources are people who provide a service. What does that mean? A service is something that someone does for you. For example, doctors help people feel better when they are sick; they are an important human resource. People need doctors in order to stay healthy. Human resources are also people who make goods.
Goods are things that you use, eat, or drink. Chefs are human resources that make goods for people to eat.
Now, what about capital resources? Capital resources are goods that are made and used to provide a service. When you go to a restaurant, you are served food, but did you know that there are special tools and equipment needed to make your food, like stoves? Exactly! Stoves, pots, and cooking utensils such as knives are capital resources. Chefs need them in order to do their jobs.
Great! And what are natural resources? Natural resources are things that are found on Earth and can be used by people. We can use water, plants, and soil. You’ve got it! Natural resources come from nature; they are not made by people.
How does your family use different types of resources? Let us know in the comments below!

Hello everyone! Today we will learn how to protect natural resources.
[Music]
Natural resources are very important for living things. Humans, animals, and plants need natural resources in order to survive. This is why conservation is so important. Conservation is the protection of natural resources.
What happens if we don’t conserve important things such as water and clean air? This can lead to scarcity. Scarcity is when there is not enough of something. Look at this dry land; there is not enough water to grow healthy plants due to water scarcity. This is also called a drought.
You can help prevent water scarcity by conserving water. Conservation also prevents pollution. Pollution makes our natural resources, such as air and water, dirty and unsafe to use. We need energy, such as natural gas and electricity, to use things in our homes. Televisions, stoves, and refrigerators need energy in order to work.
[Music]
Natural resources such as coal or gas are burned in order to produce energy. The smoke spreads into the air, which can be bad for the environment. Some energy companies use solar power or energy from the sun instead. Wind power can also be used to create electricity.
You can save energy by reducing the amount of electricity that you use. The less energy we use, the less we need to produce.
So how can we conserve natural resources? Here are a few tips: walk or ride your bike instead of riding in cars or buses. Vehicle smoke can cause pollution.
[Music]
Use less water; you can turn off the water while you wash your hands or brush your teeth. Turn off things that use electricity when you are not using them.
[Music]
Use sunlight instead of electric light. Together, we can protect the Earth and its resources through conservation.
