Natural Resources 1/4 - 1/16 This week, 6th grade will begin a unit about natural resources. We will talk about renewable and nonrenewable resources and the advantages and disadvantages of each. Students will complete graphic organizers and notes in their science journals to help them keep the information straight. They will also work with their groups to explore each resource and brainstorm ideas on how each can be used. Students will have vocabulary homework due on Friday, 1/6. The list can be found in the "Class Docs" section. Have a great week, everyone! TEKS: 6.7 Matter and energy. The student knows that some of Earth's energy resources are available on a nearly perpetual basis, while others can be renewed over a relatively short period of time. Some energy resources, once depleted, are essentially nonrenewable. The student is expected to: (A) research and debate the advantages and disadvantages of using coal, oil, natural gas, nuclear power, biomass, wind, hydropower, geothermal, and solar resources; and (B) design a logical plan to manage energy resources in the home, school, or community.
