Different Kinds of Resources

Written by Ryan (22), Alec, and Claire

Resources are an important part of life.  It's important that we save them.  There are three kinds of resources, which are natural resources, human resources, and capital resources.  

A capital resource is a tool, equipment or building that helps people, such as calculators, cars, and utensils.  The next type of resource is a natural resource.  A natural resource is something that is grown or found naturally on the earth, such as wood, water, minerals, and soil.  The last type of resource is human resource.  A human resource is a person who provides a service or produces a good, such as doctors, lawyers, construction workers, and electricians.

What do you do to take care of our resources?

Ohlone Indians

Written by Allison, Michelle, Alex (3)

We are learning about  how the Ohlone Indians lived.  We are making an Ohlone diorama, which is a little scene on how they used to live.  They used to live around San Francisco.  Their house is made out of willow bark.  Some of the things they eat are wild fruits, vegetables, and animals that they hunt. 

Do you know anything more about the Ohlone Indians?
