Introduction
Every day we use electricity, fuel, water, and materials — but where do they come from?
Some Earth resources can last forever if we use them wisely, while others will eventually run out.
In this WebQuest, you will become Earth detectives, exploring the difference between renewable and non-renewable resources and how they affect our planet.

Process
1) Teacher Explanation
Renewable resources are energy sources that will not run out because nature keeps replacing them.
They can be used again and again. For example, sunlight, wind.
Non-renewable resources are energy that can run out. Once we used them, they cannot be replaced quickly, it takes millions of years for new ones to form. For example, coal, oil, etc.
