ABOUT THIS GAME
This engaging word sort activity helps students understand the difference between renewable and nonrenewable natural resources. Students classify 12 different resources like sunlight, coal, wind, and oil into two categories. The activity reinforces key environmental science concepts about resource sustainability and conservation. Through hands-on sorting, students learn to distinguish between resources that can be replenished and those that cannot. The activity aligns with NGSS Earth Science standards and helps students develop critical thinking about resource management and environmental stewardship.
