Natural Resources Practice Activities
Class 2 Science and EVS worksheets help children identify natural resources, understand their uses, and practise simple ways to conserve them.
Practice that builds confidence
What children learn
These Class 2 Science and EVS worksheets help children explore natural resources as part of the Environment topic. Learners practise recognising things we get from nature, such as air, water, soil, sunlight, plants, animals, rocks, and fuels.
The printable activities include picture-based questions, matching, sorting, fill-in-the-blanks, short answers, and observation tasks. Children connect resources to everyday uses and learn why careful use of nature is important.
Natural resources are things found in nature that people, plants, and animals use. In Class 2, children do not need long definitions; they need clear examples. These worksheets build understanding through familiar situations: drinking water, breathing air, growing plants in soil, using sunlight for warmth, eating food from plants and animals, and using wood, stone, or fuel carefully.
From naming to responsible use
The practice moves from simple identification to thinking about use and care. A child may first circle natural resources in a picture, then match water to drinking or soil to plant growth. Later questions ask children to choose actions such as turning off a tap, planting trees, keeping rivers clean, and not wasting paper. This progression helps children see that resources are useful, limited, and shared.
A simple home routine
Parents can make the lesson concrete with a daily “resource hunt”. Ask your child to name three natural resources used at breakfast, while bathing, or during play. For example: water for washing, sunlight for drying clothes, and plants for food. Then ask one care question: “How can we avoid wasting this?” Encourage short spoken answers before writing them on the worksheet.
Classroom use for teachers
Teachers can use these printables after an EVS discussion, during revision, or as group work. Picture sorting works well in pairs, while short-answer questions can become a class conversation about local resources such as rainwater, trees, farms, soil, rivers, or sunlight. The worksheets also support display-board activities on “Save Water”, “Grow More Trees”, and “Keep Our Surroundings Clean”.
Common errors to watch for
Children may think only things humans make are resources, or they may confuse natural resources with man-made objects. For example, a wooden chair is man-made, but wood comes from trees. Some may say water is unlimited because it comes from taps. Gently guide them back to the source: taps bring water, but nature provides it.

Why iBloom worksheets help
The activities use Class 2-friendly language, everyday examples, and varied question types so children practise observation as well as recall. A helpful child strategy is: “Name it, say where it comes from, tell one use, and share one way to save it.” This keeps answers simple, accurate, and thoughtful.
Helpful answers
Frequently asked questions
What are natural resources for Class 2 children?
Natural resources are useful things we get from nature, such as air, water, soil, sunlight, plants, animals, rocks, and fuels. Class 2 children learn them through familiar examples from home, school, and the environment.
What activities are included in these natural resources worksheets?
The worksheets include picture identification, matching resources to their uses, sorting natural and man-made things, fill-in-the-blanks, short answers, and simple conservation questions.
How can I explain conservation of natural resources to a Class 2 child?
Use everyday actions: turn off taps, do not waste food or paper, plant trees, keep water bodies clean, and switch off lights when not needed. Explain that nature gives us these resources and we must use them carefully.
Do these worksheets cover renewable and non-renewable resources?
They introduce the idea in a simple way where suitable, such as resources that can be renewed like plants and sunlight, and resources that must be used carefully like fuels. The focus remains age-appropriate for Class 2.
How can teachers use these worksheets in an EVS lesson?
Teachers can use them after a discussion on the environment, as pair-work sorting tasks, for revision, or as prompts for classroom conversations about local resources such as water, trees, soil, farms, and sunlight.
