Natural Resources Lesson Help (Student Teacher)

Hello! I am a current 4th-grade student teacher in Houston, TX. I am creating a lesson about non-renewable and renewable resources, however, I want to pre-assess what they might already know and tie that into a 5E lesson... Any pre-assessing tips or lesson ideas for this topic?

Thanks so much!

I've had great luck with Nearpod lessons, especially those that are built around the 5E lesson model.  Keep in mind that preassessment doesn't have to be a formal assessment or quiz.  Even asking them to draw an image that shares their knowledge or indicating agreement or disagreement with a number of common misconceptions can be a useful preassessment.
