Lesson 6: Caring for Our Natural Resources
 
Natural resources are things in nature that people use.

Air, water, and plants are kinds of natural resources.


Coal and oil are natural resources that come from under the ground.

We use both of them to warm houses and schools.

We use oil to make gas, which makes cars run.


Everyone needs to take care of our natural resources.

We can help by using things over and over, instead of throwing them away.

We also can keep our air and water clean.
