Natural Resources PAC

Introduction

Wildlife management is one of the topics covered in the Natural Resources PAC.When North America was first settled, it was thought that the supply of natural resources was endless. Today we know this is not true, and there is a strong need for conservation.

What is conservation? Conservation, by definition, is the wise use of available resources. The Natural Resources PAC teaches students the difference between nonrenewable and renewable resources and how they are best managed.

Using hands-on testing and interactive software, students explore the conservation of water, soil, wildlife, forestry, and minerals. 

The wind turbine testing device encourages students to research alternative energy methods. And, the individualized waste and recycling project they conduct gives them the opportunity to recognize the need for waste reduction programs.  

As students learn to appreciate our natural resources, they will become more committed to the need for conservation.
