Opening your story…
Maya and Leo visit Grandpa Arun’s riverside village and find their once-sparkling river choked with plastic. As they clean up and learn how litter harms wildlife, they discover plastic pollution often starts on land—and that people can help protect rivers and animals.
At a sunny beach, two curious kids feel the cool sea breeze in the afternoon and wonder where the wind goes at night—discovering how land and sea heat up differently and swap gentle breezes back and forth.
When a balloon floats upward and warm air curls toward the ceiling, two curious kids discover why air loves to climb—and how heat makes warm air rise while cooler air sinks.
Natural resources are the things we get from nature that we need to live and grow, including food, water, air, and energy. Renewable resources, such as sunlight, water, wind, and trees, can be replaced naturally in a short time if we use them wisely. Non-renewable resources, such as coal, oil, natural gas, and metals, take millions of years to form and cannot be replaced in our lifetime. Coal, oil, and natural gas are fossil fuels formed from ancient plants and animals. We can help by saving water and energy, planting trees, and reducing, reusing, and recycling.
