Natural Resources and Human Impact
Part A: Fix the Sentence
Each sentence has an error. Rewrite it correctly on the line.
1. Fix the sentence:
Sunlight is a nonrenewable resource because it runs out at night.
Rewrite: Sunlight is a renewable resource because it returns every day.
2. Fix the sentence:
Wind is a resource that humans cannot ever replace or use again.
Rewrite: Wind is a renewable resource that keeps blowing across Earth naturally.
3. Fix the sentence:
Trees are not a renewable resource because once cut they are gone forever.
Rewrite: Trees are a renewable resource because new trees can be planted and grown.
Part B: Fill in the Blank
Write the missing word or number on each line.
1. The sun, wind, water, and trees are examples of renewable resources.
2. Moving water in rivers can spin turbines to make electricity energy for homes.
3. When loggers cut down trees, replanting new trees is called reforestation.
4. Sunlight that hits solar panels is changed into electricity for buildings.
Part C: Short Answer
Answer each question in one or two complete sentences.
1. Name three renewable natural resources and explain why each is renewable.
Sunlight, wind, and water are renewable resources. Sunlight returns every day when the sun rises. Wind keeps blowing as the sun heats Earth. Water cycles through rain, rivers, and oceans, so it is replaced naturally and never permanently runs out.
2. How can people make sure trees stay a renewable resource?
People can keep trees renewable by planting new trees after cutting old ones, protecting forests from fires, and using wood carefully. Reforestation programs grow young trees so future Grade 4 students will still have forests, animal habitats, and clean air to enjoy.
