This Geography scheme of work video introduces pupils to the concept of resources — the things we use from nature or the world around us to live, grow, and build. The video explores different types of resources, such as water, wood, metal, fossil fuels and food, and encourages pupils to think about how we use them in everyday life.

Pupils learn the difference between renewable and non-renewable resources, gaining a foundation for discussions about sustainability, climate impact, and global responsibility. The video also encourages pupils to reflect on how we can look after and use resources wisely to protect the planet for future generations. This content supports topics such as environmental change, material use and ethical decision-making.

This video is part of Kapow Primary’s Geography – Sustainability Collection, helping pupils become responsible users and stewards of Earth’s resources.
