Managing Our Natural Resources....
Enduring Understanding:
Everything we need to survive and live our lifestyle originates from the earth. Some natural resources can be replenished by the earth and some cannot. We can manage these natural resources by reducing our use, reusing materials, recycling and composting!
Essential Questions:
1. Where does all our "STUFF" come from?
(vocab: human footprint, extraction, natural resources, renewable, nonrenewable)
2. Where does all our "STUFF" go when we no longer need it?
(vocab: sustainable, decomposition, degrade, compost, reduce, reuse, recycle, vermiculture, landfill)
3. How do my daily choices impact our natural resources?
