Introduction

The Resource Conservation CPU involves the study of our natural resources and their interconnectedness. It also discusses human dependence on and usage of resources, as well as methods of conserving them for a sustainable future.

BRecyclingy completing this CPU, students will understand the roles of natural resources in our lives and the basic necessity of their availability. They will recognize the value of individual resources such as soil, water, and fossil fuels. By examining the inner workings of ecosystems and food webs, they will understand the influence of one natural resource on another. Through hands-on water and soil conservation experiments, they can directly observe methods of conserving resources. They will also make a commitment to waste reduction by reporting waste management in their own homes.
