Let’s go step by step.

Question 1: Check off all the images that show a natural resource.
What is a natural resource?
→ Something found in nature that people can use — like trees, water, soil, air, sunlight, animals, minerals, etc.
→ Not made by humans.
Now look at each image:
-
Tree → Yes! Trees are natural. We get wood, oxygen, fruit from them.
-
Pond with frog and plants → Yes! Water, plants, animals — all natural resources.
-
Basketball → No. Made by humans (rubber, plastic, leather).
-
Bicycle → No. Made by humans (metal, rubber, paint).
-
Apple → Yes! Grows on trees — natural food resource.
-
Sand pile → Yes! Sand is a natural material from rocks and beaches.
✔ So check these boxes:
- Tree
- Pond
- Apple
- Sand

Question 2: Circle the things a plant needs to grow.
Plants need:
- Sunlight ☀️
- Water 💧 (from rain or watering)
- Air 🌬️ (especially carbon dioxide)
- Soil 🌱 (for nutrients and roots to hold onto)
They do NOT need:
- Peanut butter
✘ (that’s for people!)
- Milk
✘ (that’s for babies or people who drink it)
So circle:
- Sun
- Rain cloud (water)
- Air waves labeled “air”
- Soil/dirt pile
Do NOT circle:
- Peanut butter jar
- Milk carton

Final Answer:
Question 1: Check the boxes next to:
→ Tree
→ Pond
→ Apple
→ Sand
Question 2: Circle:
→ Sun
→ Rain cloud
→ Air
→ Soil
*(Do not circle basketball, bicycle, peanut butter, or milk.)*
