6-8 ESS3.A: Natural resources

Humans depend on Earth's land, ocean, atmosphere, and biosphere for different resources, many of which are limited or not renewable. Resources are distributed unevenly around the planet as a result of past geologic processes.
PreK-2 ESS3.A: Natural resources

Living things need water, air, and resources from the land, and they live in places that have the things they need. Humans use natural resources for everything they do.
