Renewable resources replenish naturally over a short
period
Match the resource type with its definition:
Renewable ↔️ Replenishes naturally over a short period
Non-Renewable ↔️ Finite and cannot be quickly replenished
Recyclable ↔️ Can be reused after processing
Why is recycling recyclable resources important?
Reduces waste and saves energy
Steps to classify resources in chemistry
1️⃣ Identify the resource
2️⃣ Determine if it replenishes naturally
3️⃣ Classify as renewable, non-renewable, or recyclable
Renewable resources reduce reliance on finite fossil
fuels
What is a common example of a recyclable material in chemistry?
Plastic
Match the resource type with its primary benefit:
Renewable ↔️ Sustainable
Non-Renewable ↔️ Energy-rich
Recyclable ↔️ Reduces waste
Renewable resources help reduce reliance on finite fossil
fuels
Non-renewable resources are sustainable in the long term.
False
Steps for using resources effectively
1️⃣ Reduce
2️⃣ Reuse
3️⃣ Recycle
