Natural Resources

Our new inquiry topic is 'Natural Resources'. At the minute we have been discussing what a natural resource is and differentiating between natural and man-made resources. This is a GREAT topic to talk about home as most everyday objects started off as a natural resource. Today we were interested to find out that clothes and material can start off as plants, animals and even plastic drink bottles! Next week we are going to start investigating renewable natural resources and how we can use these to reduce the impact humans have on the environment. In Week 4 we are planning to visit a wind farm to see how this happens in real life!
