Social StudiesOur Environment and Natural Resources

Reading time: ~5 min

Year 1 sample drawn from Ghana SHS Social Studies themes (curriculumresources.edu.gh). More topics will be added as packs are collected.

Our environment includes living and non-living things around us. Natural resources — water, soil, forests, minerals — support life and development when used wisely.

Guiding question: Which natural resources does your community depend on every week?

Sort renewable vs non-renewable

Solar energy
Crude oil
Timber (if forests regrow)
Gold and bauxite (once mined, gone)
Wind for turbines
Renewable (with care)
Non-renewable

Renewable resources can recover if we manage them carefully. Non-renewable resources are finite.

Stewardship

Ghana’s development depends on protecting water bodies, reducing bush burning where harmful, and managing mining responsibly. Citizens, communities, and government share responsibility.
