About this printable

This A4 printable contains a grid of illustrated cards (each with a clear icon and a single-word label) representing a wide range of natural resources and energy sources. Teachers can have students cut out the squares and sort them into groups such as renewable vs non-renewable, living vs non-living, or by use (energy, minerals, building materials). The simple visuals support early vocabulary while some terms (e.g. limestone, geothermal energy) provide opportunities for teacher explanation.
