Learn the idea
Economic activities can grow food, manufacture products, provide services or extract natural resources. A place can have several activities at once. Agriculture and manufacturing are linked when factories process crops; services support both. Classify the task described rather than the entire worker or region.
Agriculture: raising crops or animals for products. Manufacturing: making products by processing inputs. Service: work performed for a customer or community. Extraction: removing a natural resource from its deposit.
Look at the task: growing crops or animals, making products, helping a customer or removing a resource from the ground. Read the notes and the word cards. You can write, draw or say your answer.
- Read the four notes. Find the words Agriculture, Manufacturing, Service, Extraction.
