Transcript of Classifying Resources Natural vs. Man-made and How do we know what to recycle?
What is a Resource?
• A resource is something that can be used.
• Resources can be classified or grouped in several different ways.
• In this lesson, we are looking at natural resources and man-made resources
Man-Made resources
• A man-made resource is something that has been made by a person.
This man is making a glass object.
How do we know what to recycle?
• There are many objects that can be recycled. • Some of these are:
– paper– glass– metal and aluminum– plastic– and clothes
Paper• Many kinds of paper are recyclable.
– scrap paper– newspaper– cardboard– magazines
• Just remember to check that the paper is not soiled.
Glass• Glass can be recycled.• Some cities want the glass sorted by color:
transparent (clear) and colored.
Plastic• Many plastic containers can be recycled.
• Look for the symbol.
• The most common plastic to recycle will have the number 1 on it. Plastics with the number 2 are also commonly recycled.
Clothes• These items don’t go to recycling centers like
the glass, paper, plastic, and metal.
• You can ‘recycle’ clothes by:– donating them– giving them to someone else– making them into something new
How I can help the environment?
• If we all do our part with conserving natural resources and recycling products, we will help to ensure that there are enough natural resources for a long time.
