Common Core/ Next Generation Standards Addressed

MS‐LS2‐1. Analyze and interpret data to provide evidence for the effects of resource availability on organisms and populations of organisms in an ecosystem.

MS‐LS2‐2. Construct an explanation that predicts patterns of interactions among organisms across multiple ecosystems.

RST.6‐8.1 Cite specific textual evidence to support analysis of science and technical texts. (MS‐LS1‐6),(MS‐LS2‐1),(MS‐LS2‐4)

RI.8.8 Trace and evaluate the argument and specific claims in a text, assessing whether the reasoning is sound and the evidence is relevant and sufficient to support the claims. (MS‐LS2‐4)

WHST.6-8.9 Draw evidence from Informational texts to support analysis, reflection, and research. (MS‐LS1‐6),(MS‐LS2‐4)

Agriculture, Food and Natural Resources Standards Addressed!

• NRS.01.01. Apply methods of classification to examine natural resource availability and ecosystem function in a particular region.

• Sample Measurement: The following sample measurement strands are provided to guide the development of measurable activities, at different levels of proficiency, to assess students’ attainment of knowledge and skills related to this performance indicator. The topics represented by each strand are not all-encompassing.

• NRS.01.01.01.a. Summarize and classify the different kinds of natural resources using common classification schemes (e.g., living versus non-living, renewable versus nonrenewable, native versus introduced, etc.).

Interest Approach Ask students to list the natural

resources used to create objects around the classroom. Determine if students can identify how the remainder of the natural resource was used. Indicate that the lesson will focus on natural resources. Move on to the objectives of the lesson.

Objective Two

• Explain natural resources and list examples

Page 11: Lesson 1 Determining the Kinds and Importance of Natural Resources

What are Natural Resources?

Natural resources are resources that occur naturally and are found in nature.

Page 12: Lesson 1 Determining the Kinds and Importance of Natural Resources

What are Natural Resources?

Natural resources are used to provide for the needs of humans and all other living organisms.

Natural resources are used to provide for the needs of humans and all other living organisms.

Page 13: Lesson 1 Determining the Kinds and Importance of Natural Resources

Humans cannot make natural resources.

Humans use natural resources in many ways.

Nearly everything humans use is derived from a natural resource.

Natural resources are grouped into several categories.

• Wildlife, plants, animals, and other organisms that have not been domesticated.

• Air: a mixture of gases that surrounds the earth and is used by humans in numerous ways.

What are Natural Resources?

Page 15: Lesson 1 Determining the Kinds and Importance of Natural Resources

Natural resources are grouped into several categories. (continued)

• Soil: the outer layer of the earth™s crust that supports plant life.

• Water: a substance that is required for all living organisms to survive.

• Minerals: inorganic substances taken from the earth to make other useful objects.

Natural resources are grouped into several categories. (continued)

• Fossil Fuels: organic substances mined from the earth. They are used to provide energy and to manufacture other objects.

What are Natural Resources?

Page 17: Lesson 1 Determining the Kinds and Importance of Natural Resources

Objective Three

• Contrast and compare renewable and nonrenewable natural resources.

Page 18: Lesson 1 Determining the Kinds and Importance of Natural Resources

How are Renewable and Nonrenewable natural resources alike and different?

Natural resources are either Renewable or Nonrenewable.

Page 19: Lesson 1 Determining the Kinds and Importance of Natural Resources

Renewable Natural Resources can be replenished by the environment.

• Soil, air, wildlife, and water are examples.

• Replacing them may take a long time.• If managed improperly, the resource

may be depleted before replacement occurs.

How are Renewable and Nonrenewable natural resources alike and different?

Page 20: Lesson 1 Determining the Kinds and Importance of Natural Resources

Nonrenewable Natural Resources cannot be replenished by the environment.

• Minerals are considered nonrenewable.

• The limited nature of nonrenewable natural resources explains their relatively high cost.

How are Renewable and Nonrenewable natural resources alike and different?

Page 21: Lesson 1 Determining the Kinds and Importance of Natural Resources

Inexhaustible Natural Resources will last forever regardless of human activity.

• Water is practically limitless, due to the Hydrologic Cycle; however, mismanagement can cause water to be unfit for use.

• These resources can be either renewable or nonrenewable.

Exhaustible Natural Resources are in limited supply in the environment.

• Fossil fuels are considered exhaustible natural resources.

• These resources may exist in such large quantities that they are considered inexhaustible.

How are natural resources important to agriculture?

All natural resources are dependent on the others.

A. Natural resources are interdependent.

1. Humans use animals that use plants, air, and water.

2. Hawks eat fish that eat insects that eat decomposing plants.

How are natural resources important to agriculture?

All natural resources are dependent on the others. (Continued)

B. Agriculture is used to feed and clothe the world.

1. Soil minerals, air, and water are needed by plants to grow.2. Livestock eat plants to produce muscle tissue and fiber.
