Existence of creatures on this planet is supported by numerous resources. While species other than human beings use only natural resources for their subsistence, human beings use both natural and manmade resources to lead their lives. Below we list down both natural and manmade resources used by us at our homes and classrooms.

Resources used in homes:

a. Natural resources:

i. Water: Water is one of the bare necessities of human life on this planet. Most of the water, however, that is found in nature is not fit for human consumption. It has to be, thus, chemically treated by different procedures in order to make it edible and safe.

ii. Air: Air is another bare necessity of life. All creatures need Oxygen to survive on this planet. Without it, there would be no sign of life on Earth.

iii. Mineral like salt and sugar: Salt and sugar is basically used in our kitchens to enhance the taste of our food.

b. Human made resources:

i. Washing machines: Washing machine can be considered a luxury. It is used by people to wash clothes electronically in order to reduce their time and effort.

ii. Geyser: Geyser is again a luxury. It is used to heat water. It is mostly used in urban areas.

Resources used in classroom:

a. Natural resources: Natural resources that we use remain same irrespective of where we are.

i. Water ii. Air

b. Human made resources:

i. Benches: Benches are made out of wood and is used for seating in classrooms.

ii. Duster: Duster is simple man made equipment which is used to erase anything written on blackboard/whiteboard with chalk/marker.
