Find out what natural resources are and how to classify them as renewable or non-renewable in this free KS3 Geography worksheet — no preparation needed, just download and use. Perfect as a lesson starter, homework task, or quick revision activity for students aged 11-14.

The worksheet contains three questions worth 13 marks in total: a multiple choice question identifying examples of natural resources; a fill-in-the-blank passage using key vocabulary including environment, renewable, non-renewable, and manufactured; and a short answer question asking students to define natural resources and classify two examples with reasons. A full answer key with marking guidance is included.

Want more? The full 100-mark premium worksheet goes deeper into the uneven global distribution of natural resources, why countries import resources they cannot produce themselves, and how the natural resource trap explains why resource-rich countries often struggle to develop. A complete lesson bundle combining the full worksheet and extension activities is also available on the iNewittAll TES store.
