Fifth graders fill in nine sentences on interdependence, natural and human resources, command and market economies, mixed systems, and why oil and coal count as nonrenewable. The matching set pairs natural, human, and capital resources with examples — river water, a classroom teacher, a farm tractor — plus interdependence between countries.
Sorting the three resource types alongside command, market, and mixed economies gives fifth graders the framework to compare how different countries answer the same questions about what to produce and who decides.
Style:
Economics: Supply & Demand
Part A: Fill in the Blank
Write the missing word or number on each line.
1. When countries rely on each other for goods and services, it is called economic interdependence.
2. Forests, rivers, and minerals are all examples of natural resources.
3. In a command economy, the government makes most of the decisions about what to produce.
4. In a market economy, supply and demand help decide what goods are produced.
5. Workers, teachers, and doctors are all considered human resources.
6. A mixed economy combines features of both market and command systems.
7. Resources that can be replaced over time, like trees and fish, are called renewable.
8. Oil and coal are nonrenewable resources because they take millions of years to form.
9. The United States has a mixed economy because both businesses and the government play a role.
Part B: Matching
Match each item on the left to the correct answer on the right.
1. Match each item to its correct answer.

countries relying on each other
Human resource
