Learning Task 6-Application

Now class, I want you to look

under your chair. As you can see
some of you have the picture. I will
Moon Nuclear
call you one by one and then you Renewable Nonrenewable
will tell what is in the picture then resources resources
identify what group of resources is
that.

Is that clear?
Water Crude oil
Renewable Nonrenewable
resources resources

Fruits Fuel
Renewable Nonrenewable
resources resources
