Identification may include
- identifying the characteristics of a natural resource to determine its classification
- describing types of living species based on evolutionary traits
- classifying types of natural resources by source of origin, the state of development, and the renewability of the resources (e.g., biotic vs. abiotic, renewable vs. non-renewable, etc.)
- devising strategies for the preservation of natural resources based on their classification.
Process/Skill Questions:
- Why is it important to classify natural resources?
- What is the importance of developing sustainable methods to manage resources and ensure they are maintained for future generations?
