Our resources

Welcome to Chapter Eight. In Chapter Seven, you learned about
the Solar system. You also learned about things which form

the Solar system. Besides learning about the Sun, you learned

about other objects in the sky. In this chapter, you will learn
about resources owned by the family and school. You will also
learn about the benefits of these resources. In addition, you

will learn how to protect them.
Identifying and taking care of our family resources

Resources are everything that we have in our family to increase
wealth. Examples of resources are livestock, land, and crops.

Read the following dialogue between Pamoa and Pilika on
resources. Then, answer the questions.

Pamoa Hi, Pilika!
Pilika Hi, Pamoa!

Pamoa Yesterday I saw you carrying a bucket. Where
were you going?

Pilika I was going to fetch water.

Pamoa Aha! We have a water tap at home. We use this
water for cooking food, cleaning, and watering the

garden.

Pilika We also have a water tap, but we failed to pay our

bills. So the service was disconnected.

Pamoa Oh! Sorry. In our case we use water carefully. We
also pay our bills on time. By the way, do you have
trees?
