Why Use It:
This worksheet builds clear understanding of sustainability concepts by engaging students in hands-on classification. It strengthens comprehension of energy sources, environmental impact, and resource limitations, making it useful across science units from elementary through high school introductory environmental science.
How to Use It:
• Cut out the definition cards and images on page 1.
• Sort and paste them under “Renewable” or “Non-renewable” on page 2.
• Use page 3 (if provided) as an answer key or self-check tool.

Grade Suitability:
Best suited for Grades 4–10.
• Middle school students use it to learn resource categories and definitions.
• High school students can use it as a review, introduction to environmental science, or as part of a broader sustainability project.
Target Users:
Teachers, tutors, homeschool parents, and students studying natural resources, renewable vs non-renewable energy, and environmental impact.
