Teaching Table
Set out your lesson
Practise the bounded task in Natural resources; see exact limits before inferring broader coverage.
Distinguish a material resource from electricity.
Exact directed source edges retained; earlier authorship is not learner attainment.
These supplied stage cards
Scrap paper and pencil; oral/pointing response where appropriate
Read readiness and decide on support without treating prerequisite authoring as learner readiness.
Open Show first and explain its model.
Use Guided Try with support and its separate adult key.
Close Show and guided keys before Try, unless this Try is explicitly supported.
Reflect on an actual attempt, including help used.
Use the supplied screen cards; copying the exact task to paper is optional, not required.
Use only invented scenarios and optional anonymous local notes. Do not request names, photos, family finances, medical data, accounts or uploads. Stop uncomfortable physical activity.
Use only invented scenarios and optional anonymous local notes. Do not request names, photos, family finances, medical data, accounts or uploads. Stop uncomfortable physical activity.
Use the complete materials on screen or print only the current sheet. Keep adult guidance out of learner view. Retain an earlier model only when the current step supplies it as context.
Teaching limits and safe use
These are finite task opportunities, not proof of mastery. Record what was attempted and what support was used.
No lifecycle ranking, numerical emission comparison or local energy recommendation; combining external information not assessed.
Use only invented scenarios and optional anonymous local notes. Do not request names, photos, family finances, medical data, accounts or uploads. Stop uncomfortable physical activity.
Family records and proof options
Keep a record of your learning
Save photos, notes, and attendance. Export a proof packet for compliance or portfolio reviews.

Check understanding
- Name natural resources used for energy and fuels (coal, oil, gas, wind, sun, water)
- Describe how extracting and using these resources affects the environment (pollution, habitat loss, climate change)
- Distinguish between renewable (wind, solar) and non-renewable (fossil fuels) energy sources
“Can your child explain where petrol, electricity, and gas come from — that they come from natural resources like oil, coal, wind, or sunlight — and how using them affects the environment?”
