This Grade 4 worksheet explores how humans use natural resources for electricity, transportation, building, and farming. Students complete fill-in sentences about deforestation, habitats, and crops, then match resources like coal, wood, soil, and gasoline to their main uses. Activities reinforce Grade 4 vocabulary and connect resource use to NGSS 4-ESS3 environmental impacts. This Grade 4 worksheet supports classroom or homework practice today.
