Using Resources

Simple explanation

Finite resources are used faster than they can be replaced.

Analogy or example

Desalination can produce potable water but needs a lot of energy.

Misconception trap

Potable water is chemically pure water.

Real-world relevance

Using resources links classroom reactions to materials, energy, resources and everyday products.
