Teacher: What shall we call group A as? man-made.
Why do we call group A as natural materials? Students recall natural materials.
Teacher:Very good. What shall we call group Students recall that they are obtained from
B nature.
Why do you call them as man-made materials?
Students recall manmade materials.
Students reason out that they are not obtained

conserving it. So, we can’t use all our natural
resources forever.
Teacher gives another set of examples and asks
students to divide them into two and give
appropriate topics to them. (Teacher writes the
words on the black board.) Students classify them as:
Sunlight Trees Air Electricity Coal Water A B
Petroleum Soil Sunlight Air Water Trees Electricity
Soil Coal Petroleum
Teacher: Based on which attribute did you
divide them into two? Students reason out that group A can be
renewed again and again but group B can’t.
So what name can we give to them?
Students state the names as renewable natural

of inexhaustible natural resources?
Teacher:Ok good. So, how can you define
exhaustible natural resource? Students state that exhaustible natural
resources are those which are present in nature
in limited quantity and can be exhausted by
human activities.
Students cite examples as forest, coal,
petroleum, wildlife etc…
Very good. Can you give some examples of
exhaustible natural resources?
So, in today’s class we’ll learn about the
exhaustible natural resource COAL.
