Description
Includes both PRINT and digital GOOGLE SLIDES VERSIONS! This 5-part webquest focuses on natural resources and human impact - each section with its own website to explore. This activity is much more interesting and engaging than typical "fill in the blank" activities. Supports NGSS MS-ESS3-1.
⭐ Find this activity in our DISTRIBUTION OF NATURAL RESOURCES UNIT!
Overall, the webquest addresses 3 major topics:
- What are different natural resources used for?
- Where in the world are different natural resources found?
- How are natural resources being depleted?
The focus of each section is as follows:
- Part 1 - Overview of natural resources
- Part 2 - Use actual CIA intel to learn the significant resources of different countries
- Part 3 - Interact with a statistics website about world resource production.
- Part 4 - Look at online "tickers" to see how fast resources are being used.
- Part 5 - Read about what we can do to conserve natural resources.
PLEASE NOTE: Each section has its own website, so if one website is "down", it won't affect the whole webquest experience. PLUS, the vast majority of questions can be answered through Google in a pinch.
Teacher Notes:
- A link to the Google Slides version is in the downloadable PDF.
- ANSWER KEY INCLUDED.

NGSSMS-ESS3-1
Construct a scientific explanation based on evidence for how the uneven distributions of Earth’s mineral, energy, and groundwater resources are the result of past and current geoscience processes. Emphasis is on how these resources are limited and typically non-renewable, and how their distributions are significantly changing as a result of removal by humans. Examples of uneven distributions of resources as a result of past processes include but are not limited to petroleum (locations of the burial of organic marine sediments and subsequent geologic traps), metal ores (locations of past volcanic and hydrothermal activity associated with subduction zones), and soil (locations of active weathering and/or deposition of rock).
NGSSHS-ESS3-1
Construct an explanation based on evidence for how the availability of natural resources, occurrence of natural hazards, and changes in climate have influenced human activity. Examples of key natural resources include access to fresh water (such as rivers, lakes, and groundwater), regions of fertile soils such as river deltas, and high concentrations of minerals and fossil fuels. Examples of natural hazards can be from interior processes (such as volcanic eruptions and earthquakes), surface processes (such as tsunamis, mass wasting and soil erosion), and severe weather (such as hurricanes, floods, and droughts). Examples of the results of changes in climate that can affect populations or drive mass migrations include changes to sea level, regional patterns of temperature and precipitation, and the types of crops and livestock that can be raised.
