Which of the following specimens can be used while teaching the learners about resources? I. Specimens of soils II. Specimens of minerals III. Specimens of agricultural products Correct Answer I, II and III

Geography provides relevant details regarding space/place where living things (including humans) live. It provides information regarding the natural and physical resources needed for proper sustenance. Note down the way a teacher can teach his students about resources:
  • Resources: resources and their types natural and human.
  • Natural resources; their utilisation and conservation, land and soil, water, natural vegetation, wildlife, mineral and power resources (world patterns with special reference to India). 
  • Agriculture: types of farming, major crops, fibres, beverages, agricultural development-two case studies- one from India and the other from a developed country/ a farm in US/ Netherlands/ Australia
  • Industries: Classification of industries based on size, raw material, ownership; major industries and distribution; infrastructure and development. Iron and steel (a comparative study of Jamshedpur and a centre in USA e.g. Detroit).
  • Textiles industry (Ahmedabad and Osaka)
  • Information Technology (Bangalore and Silicon Valley)
  • Human Resources- composition, population change, distribution and density.

Hence, we conclude that all the above points can be used while teaching the learners about resources.
