Educational worksheet for students to classify renewable and non-renewable resources using illustrated icons.

Let’s go step by step to sort each resource into Renewable or Non-Renewable.

First, remember:
- Renewable resources can be replaced naturally in a short time (like sunlight, wind, trees).
- Non-renewable resources take millions of years to form and will run out if we use them up (like oil, coal, gold).

Now let’s look at each picture:

1. Sun → Sunlight is always available every day. It won’t run out. → Renewable

2. Blue crystals → These are minerals like quartz or gemstones. They form over millions of years underground. → Non-Renewable

3. Water from tap → Water cycles through nature (rain, rivers, oceans). As long as we don’t pollute it, it keeps coming back. → Renewable

4. Oil barrel → Oil comes from ancient dead plants and animals buried deep underground. Takes millions of years to make. → Non-Renewable

5. Wind cloud with face → Wind is caused by the sun heating the air. It never stops blowing. → Renewable

6. Tree → Trees grow back if you plant new ones. We can harvest wood and still have more trees later. → Renewable

7. Coal rocks → Coal is made from old plants that died long ago. Very slow to form. → Non-Renewable

8. Flame (natural gas) → Natural gas is found underground with oil. Also takes millions of years to form. → Non-Renewable

9. Cow → Cows give milk, meat, and manure. They reproduce and can be raised again. → Renewable

10. Gold bars → Gold is mined from the earth. Once used, it doesn’t grow back. → Non-Renewable

Now let’s group them:

✔ Renewable Resources:
- Sun
- Water from tap
- Wind
- Tree
- Cow

✘ Non-Renewable Resources:
- Blue crystals
- Oil barrel
- Coal rocks
- Flame (natural gas)
- Gold bars

Final Answer:
Renewable Resource: Sun, Water from tap, Wind, Tree, Cow
Non-Renewable Resource: Blue crystals, Oil barrel, Coal rocks, Flame (natural gas), Gold bars
