Communities Protecting Resources

Obtain and combine information about ways individual communities use science ideas to protect the Earth's resources and environment

How to tell they’ve got it

Tick these off as you see them — no test required.

Describe at least three real-world examples of communities protecting resources or the environment
Explain the science ideas behind each example (e.g. solar panels convert sunlight to electricity, reducing fossil fuel use)
Discuss how individual actions and community efforts combine to make a difference

Can your child describe real examples of how communities protect the environment — like using solar panels, creating nature reserves, or cleaning up rivers?
