Non-Renewable Resources and Extraction Methods

Miss Tritz introduces non-renewable resources, covering key terms, types like coal, oil, natural gas, and nuclear energy, and extraction methods such as mining, drilling, and fracking. Students are guided through discussion points and a scavenger hunt activity to explore these resources further. The video also details resource locations, formation, usage, and the pros and cons of non-renewable resources.
