Natural Resources...What we get from them

Hello Parents...

This week is all about Natural Resources and what we get from them. We know that the natural world includes rocks, soil, and water...but how are the specific ways that we use them?

WATER...
WaterSheds&WaterQuality gives us a great example of just one of the MILLIONS of ways that we use water everyday. Can you think of any more???

SOIL...
On S.K.Worm's web site, he gives us tons of information and great activities on soil. After you visit his site test your brain and try to answer these questions...

1. What does weather do to our soil?
2. How does water stay in the soil?
3. Do soils come in different colors?

ROCKS...

We see rocks everyday, but have you ever wondered how rocks were formed? To find out the answer and get a great demonstration of how they are formed go to RockHound, it's GREAT!

I hope you all have a broader understanding and greater appreciation for our natural resources!

Thanks, Lauren
