Natural resources are useful materials that we get from the Earth such as coil, oil, water, and natural gas. They occur naturally, which means that humans did not make them. Humans use natural resources to form new substances that can be beneficial to us, such as synthetic materials. Synthetic materials are formed when humans deliberately mix substances together for the express purpose of creating new materials with desirable properties and are a big part of our day to day lives. Most synthetic materials are the result of chemical reactions during which the atomic structures of the original substances are rearranged to form the new material. You are pondering synthetic vs. natural products as you follow your mom through the grocery store. Which list contains ONLY synthetic materials you might find? A) jute, paper, bananas, almonds B) plastic bag, grapes, aspirin, chocolate bar C) potatoes, almond milk, multivitamins, styrofoam cups sugar free ice cream, paper plates, chocolate covered raisins, styrofoam cups, bottled water D) 53°F a
