Our Planet's Treasure: Discovering Natural Resources
Can you imagine a day without sunlight, or a car without petrol? It's hard, right? This is because they are natural resources. Natural resources are gifts from our planet, like trees, water, or minerals, which we use every day. There are two main types of natural resources. The first one is renewable resources, like sunlight, wind, and water. These are resources that won't run out because they naturally refill over time. The second type is non-renewable resources, like oil, coal, and natural gas. These are resources that can't be replaced as quickly as we use them. Once they're gone, they're gone forever! That's why it's essential to use our resources wisely. You can help too! By turning off lights when you leave a room or using less water when you brush your teeth, you're saving our planet's treasures. So let's all do our part!
