Natural Resources
In this scheme, children learn what natural resources are and how they are used in everyday life. They explore how resources are distributed around the world and why countries trade to access what they need. Through fieldwork, children observe and record how natural resources are used in their local area, then analyse their findings to identify patterns and explain why they occur. Finally, they compare their local area with coastal, rural and urban environments, explaining how and why resource use differs between places.
Each of the seven fully prepared lessons comes with a detailed plan, a set of engaging and informative PDF slides for the teaching input, differentiated activity ideas and printable resources to support your class during their independent work.
A Knowledge Organiser is available to support the learning in this scheme. It is included in the Complete Series download or can be purchased individually.
Lesson 1: What are Natural Resources?
In this lesson, children are introduced to natural resources and learn how they are used by people. They explore different types of natural resources, including renewable and non-renewable, and begin to group them in different ways.
In their independent activities, children apply their understanding by identifying and classifying natural resources in a real-life environment, or in the alternative activity, compare and evaluate their importance through a ranking and discussion task.

Lesson 2: Uneven Distribution
In this lesson, children explore how natural resources are distributed around the world and why they are not found everywhere. They learn about different types of resources and how factors such as climate, geology and environment affect where they are found.
In their independent activities, children apply their understanding by locating and analysing resource distribution on a world map, or by sorting and matching cards to explain patterns through discussion and reasoning.

They learn to identify similarities and differences in land use and resource use, and explain why these occur based on physical features, population and economic activity.
In their independent activities, children apply their understanding by comparing and explaining differences between places, or by working collaboratively to identify similarities and differences and justify their ideas using evidence from fieldwork and images.
