List examples of the three types of economic resources with this set of worksheets.

The three types of economic resources include:

• natural resources
• human resources
• capital resources.

Each worksheet has students draw and describe the uses of three examples of the particular resource in focus. The second part of the worksheet has students thinking of a meal that they would like to have for breakfast, lunch or dinner. They then list the natural, human or capital resources involved in creating that meal before selecting the resource they believe has the most uses and stating why.
