Like dinosaurs, if humans don’t meet their needs they also will become
extinct
![Page 3: Natural resources 3rd / 4th grades (teach)](https://reader034.vdocuments.net/reader034/viewer/2022042623/54b9e6734a79597b308b45d8/html5/thumbnails/3.jpg)
So what do humans, like us-- you and me--need to survive? What must we have in order to continue living?
We are not talking about your dog or cat, or your computer games or cell phone.
We are talking about those really important things you must have if you are to continue living (things that would cause you to die if you didn’t have them).
![Page 4: Natural resources 3rd / 4th grades (teach)](https://reader034.vdocuments.net/reader034/viewer/2022042623/54b9e6734a79597b308b45d8/html5/thumbnails/4.jpg)
Let’s think of some of those things. First, pinch your nose tightly and try holding your breath as long as you can.
What happens? How long could you stay alive without breathing?
So, what then is one of the things in nature we need to survive?Yes, oxygen --without the oxygen in air we would quickly die.
![Page 5: Natural resources 3rd / 4th grades (teach)](https://reader034.vdocuments.net/reader034/viewer/2022042623/54b9e6734a79597b308b45d8/html5/thumbnails/5.jpg)
•We need some of that oxygen from the air in order to survive (live).
•Plants need carbon dioxide from the air to make their food. (Important because the energy stored in plants comes to us as food through the food chain.)
•The air around us has many different gases including oxygen and carbon dioxide.
![Page 6: Natural resources 3rd / 4th grades (teach)](https://reader034.vdocuments.net/reader034/viewer/2022042623/54b9e6734a79597b308b45d8/html5/thumbnails/6.jpg)

So air is one of those “things” that we must have in order to live and... air is part of:
This is an animation that helps explain the exchange of gases that takes place between plants and animals.

Now think about running around outside at recess when it is very hot. What Is something you need as soon as you come inside?
![Page 9: Natural resources 3rd / 4th grades (teach)](https://reader034.vdocuments.net/reader034/viewer/2022042623/54b9e6734a79597b308b45d8/html5/thumbnails/9.jpg)
Yes, water is another thing we need to survive.
Most of all we need it to drink.
A reasonably fit human could be expected to live only 3 to 5 days without water.
![Page 10: Natural resources 3rd / 4th grades (teach)](https://reader034.vdocuments.net/reader034/viewer/2022042623/54b9e6734a79597b308b45d8/html5/thumbnails/10.jpg)
Although we could perhaps live without these, we also need water to clean our clothes, our bodies and our homes.
![Page 11: Natural resources 3rd / 4th grades (teach)](https://reader034.vdocuments.net/reader034/viewer/2022042623/54b9e6734a79597b308b45d8/html5/thumbnails/11.jpg)
And guess what, just like us.... plants cannot live without water.
Water is part of
(Remember without plants, no food).

Something else we may notice at school just before lunch time, is that we arehungry.
Along with oxygen and water, humans need to have food.
It seems that most humans can survive up to 30-40 days without any food, so long as they have air and enough water to drink.
![Page 14: Natural resources 3rd / 4th grades (teach)](https://reader034.vdocuments.net/reader034/viewer/2022042623/54b9e6734a79597b308b45d8/html5/thumbnails/14.jpg)
So there are at least three things that we must have to survive, air, water and food.
So far we discovered that air and water come from nature, but what about food? Maybe we know that food comes from the store, but where did it come from before it got to the store?
Food for thought?
![Page 15: Natural resources 3rd / 4th grades (teach)](https://reader034.vdocuments.net/reader034/viewer/2022042623/54b9e6734a79597b308b45d8/html5/thumbnails/15.jpg)
Let’s think about where all the stuff we eat comes from?
![Page 16: Natural resources 3rd / 4th grades (teach)](https://reader034.vdocuments.net/reader034/viewer/2022042623/54b9e6734a79597b308b45d8/html5/thumbnails/16.jpg)

We also eat many plant parts such as the fruits and vegetables seen in these pictures.
As you can see, our bread, pasta and cereals all come from plants.
![Page 33: Natural resources 3rd / 4th grades (teach)](https://reader034.vdocuments.net/reader034/viewer/2022042623/54b9e6734a79597b308b45d8/html5/thumbnails/33.jpg)
So, where does our food come from?
![Page 34: Natural resources 3rd / 4th grades (teach)](https://reader034.vdocuments.net/reader034/viewer/2022042623/54b9e6734a79597b308b45d8/html5/thumbnails/34.jpg)
Yes, from plants and animals and they are all part of
Our food comes from these natural sources:

We also need something to cover our bodies to protect ourselves from the cold and the sun.
Where does the material our clothes are made of come from?
So what about our clothes?

Many of our shirts, jackets, socks and shorts are made out of polyester or nylon.
![Page 47: Natural resources 3rd / 4th grades (teach)](https://reader034.vdocuments.net/reader034/viewer/2022042623/54b9e6734a79597b308b45d8/html5/thumbnails/47.jpg)
crude oil Crude oil is a yellowish black liquid found underground. It gives off a very strong smell or odor.
Polyester or nylon clothes are made from crude oil.
![Page 48: Natural resources 3rd / 4th grades (teach)](https://reader034.vdocuments.net/reader034/viewer/2022042623/54b9e6734a79597b308b45d8/html5/thumbnails/48.jpg)
Crude oil can be changed into polyester thread which is then used to make clothes.

Animal and plant remains are a large part of oil. The animals and plants lived in oceans 300-400 million years ago. As these remains were covered by mud, heat and pressure helped to change these remains into crude oil.
What is Crude Oil and How was it Formed?
![Page 50: Natural resources 3rd / 4th grades (teach)](https://reader034.vdocuments.net/reader034/viewer/2022042623/54b9e6734a79597b308b45d8/html5/thumbnails/50.jpg)
Sometimes our clothes are not pure cotton, pure wool or pure polyester or nylon.
Like these socks which are made up of 80% cotton threads and 20% polyester thread.
![Page 51: Natural resources 3rd / 4th grades (teach)](https://reader034.vdocuments.net/reader034/viewer/2022042623/54b9e6734a79597b308b45d8/html5/thumbnails/51.jpg)
Some of our clothes may be made our of all (100%) cotton.Some of our clothes may be made our of all (100%) polyester.Some are made of some polyester or nylon and some cotton or some polyester or nylon and wool.

Something else we couldn’t survive without is soil.
Why is soil necessary to our survival?
![Page 56: Natural resources 3rd / 4th grades (teach)](https://reader034.vdocuments.net/reader034/viewer/2022042623/54b9e6734a79597b308b45d8/html5/thumbnails/56.jpg)
We need soil to grow plants
Without soil we would not have the plants we need for food or the animals which eat these plants. And like all those other things, soil comes from:

Because all these things we need to survive come from
Nature
We call them natural resources.
Natural resources are those things in nature man needs to survive.
