Complete the KWL chart: I KNOW... / WANT TO KNOW... / LEARNED about natural resources.

En "I KNOW..." se anota lo que ya se sabe (el sol da luz y calor, agua y aire vienen de la naturaleza). En "WANT TO KNOW..." se escriben dudas (¿cuál es la diferencia entre renovables y no renovables?). En "LEARNED" se resume lo aprendido: los renovables se reponen en la naturaleza; eólica, solar y geotérmica son renovables.

Match: Wind energy / Solar energy / Geothermal energy with their descriptions.

Wind energy → Wind turbines generate electricity from the wind. Solar energy → Solar panels generate electricity from the sun. Geothermal energy → Power plants use heat from the earth.

Write one example of a renewable resource NOT mentioned on the page and explain why it is renewable.

Hydropower: the water cycle constantly replenishes the water used.

Ejercicio 1

Completa el organizador gráfico KWL (I KNOW... / WANT TO KNOW... / LEARNED) sobre los recursos naturales.

Respuesta orientativa:

I KNOW...	WANT TO KNOW...	LEARNED
The sun gives us light and heat. Water and air come from nature. Some fuels come from animals and plants.	What is the difference between renewable and non-renewable resources? Which energy sources are clean? How do wind turbines work?	Renewable resources can be replaced in nature over time; non-renewable ones cannot. Wind, solar and geothermal energy are renewable. Non-renewable resources (oil, coal, gas) are limited and harm the environment.

Ejercicio 2

According to the text, what are natural resources?

Read the first sentence: "Natural resources are materials we get from nature."
Identify the classification mentioned: they can be classified into two types.
The two types are renewable and non-renewable resources.

Respuesta

Natural resources are materials we get from nature, classified into two types: renewable and non-renewable resources.

Ejercicio 3

Match each energy source with its description.

Wind energy → Wind turbines are used to generate electricity from the wind.
Solar energy → Solar panels are used to generate electricity from the sun.
Geothermal energy → Geothermal power plants use heat from the earth to generate electricity.

Respuesta

wind–turbines/wind; solar–panels/sun; geothermal–heat from the earth.

Ejercicio 4

Why are renewable resources considered sustainable?

The text states renewable resources "can be replaced in nature over time."
Because they regenerate, they can be used repeatedly.
They can be used without causing too much harm to nature.

Respuesta

Because they can be replaced in nature over time and used without causing too much harm to nature.

Ejercicio 5

Why is it important to understand the differences between renewable and non-renewable resources?

Locate the sentence in the second paragraph of the text.
The text says this understanding is important "for understanding the impact of human activities on the environment."
This helps people make better decisions about energy use.

Respuesta orientativa: Because knowing these differences helps us understand the impact of human activities on the environment and make more sustainable choices.

Ejercicio 6

Write one example of a renewable resource NOT mentioned on the page (e.g., hydropower, biomass) and explain why it is renewable.

Respuesta orientativa: Hydropower (water) is renewable because the water cycle constantly replenishes the water used to generate electricity, so it can be replaced in nature over time.

KWL CHART

I KNOW...	WANT TO KNOW...	LEARNED
(student fills)	(student fills)	(student fills)

Natural resources are materials we get from nature. They can be classified into two types: renewable and non-renewable resources.

Renewable and non-renewable resources are used to produce energy. Understanding the differences between these two types of resources is important for understanding the impact of human activities on the environment.

RENEWABLE RESOURCES

Renewable resources can be replaced in nature over time. These resources are considered sustainable because they can be used without causing too much harm to nature. Some examples of renewable resources are:

Wind energy: Wind turbines are used to generate electricity from the wind.
Solar energy: Solar panels are used to generate electricity from the sun.
Geothermal energy: Geothermal power plants use heat from the earth to generate electricity.

STUDENT'S GUIDE / Superior — 17

Ejemplos resueltos

Example: Solar energy — Solar panels are used to generate electricity from the sun.

The solar panel captures sunlight (radiant energy) and converts it into electricity, a renewable and clean source of energy.

The sun gives light and heat.	What is the difference between renewable and non-renewable?	Renewable resources can be replaced over time. Wind, solar, geothermal are renewable.

Glosario (7)

Natural resources: Materials we get from nature.
Renewable resources: Resources that can be replaced in nature over time.
Non-renewable resources: Resources that cannot be replaced once used.
Sustainable: Able to be used without causing too much harm to nature.
Wind turbine: Machine that generates electricity from the wind.
Solar panel: Device that generates electricity from the sun.
Geothermal energy: Energy that uses heat from the earth to generate electricity.
