CHAPTER 4: Variety of

Resources On Earth
Form 1
4.1 The Resources on Earth
E.g-
Air
Water

Soil

Minerals

Fossil fuel

Living things


4.2 Element, Compound and
Mixtures.

üElement.
Ø Is a substance which is made up of only one
type of particle.
Ø Cannot be broken into any simpler substance
by physical or chemical method.
Ø E.g=Copper, Carbon, Iron and Gold.
Ø
üCompound.
Ø A substance made up of two or more types
of particle that are chemically combined.
Ø Can be broken down by chemical method.
Ø E.g= Salt - Sodium and Chlorine.
 Sugar- Carbon, Hydrogen and Oxygen.
üMixtures.
Ø Made up of two or more types of
particle that are physically combined but
they are not chemically joined.
Ø E.g= Blood, Salt Solution.

Metals and Non-Metal.

Most Element are metal.

These are properties of Metal.
 Usually Solid
 Good electrical conductor.
 Shiny and hard.
 Malleable.
 Ductile.
 Good heat conductor.

And now this are properties of non-metal.
 Exist in solid, liquid and gas.(at room
temperature)
 Dull and brittle.
 Poor conductor of electricity and heat.
4.3 The important of Earth’s
Resources.
Air
 It is for breathing.
 To stay alive.
Water.
 To stay alive.
Info: A cell contain 70-90% water.
 : A human body contain about 70% of
water.
Soil.
 Supports the growth of plants.
 A source of building materials.
Minerals.
 E.g: Metal, Ores, Quartz, Feldspar and Silver.
Fossil Fuel.
 To move transport.
 To cook.
Living Things.
 They give us food, fuel, building materials and
medicine.

Preservation and Conservation of
Earth Resources.
Preservation.
 The effort to maintain natural resources in
their original state.


Conservation.
 Sustainable use and management of natural
resources to prevent loss.
