Natural Resources Richard Spilsbury

Natural resources are anything from nature that people can use. From fossil fuels deep underground used for power to trees used for lumber, natural resources are precious and sometimes nonrenewable. Readers learn both how natural resources are accessed as well as the importance of conserving them in two ways: traditional chapter text on each topic and a colorful flowchart to help them add a layer of understanding to their reading. Including topics supportive of the Earth science curriculum, this book covers renewable energy, mineral mining, water, and much more, as well as full-color photographs which have a strong text correlation.
