Natural Resources are those things found in and on the earth, such as water, oil, and sunlight.

Human resources are people who work, like Glenmae, teachers, doctors, truck drivers, and sales clerks.

Capital resources are tools, equipment, and buildings we use to help produce things. Capital resources are used over and over without being used up, such as trucks, computers, cash registers, desks, and chairs.

Explain the other things used to produce goods are called intermediate goods. Intermediate goods are products that are combined with resources to make another products. They become part of the finished product. They are not used over and over again as are capital resources.
