Swedish Industry Sort

In this classification worksheet, students analyze a list of major Swedish industries and sort each one into one of two categories: Natural Resource Based or Innovation Based. Learners review items such as forestry, auto manufacturing, technology, renewable energy development, and pulp and paper production. They must think critically about whether each industry relies primarily on Sweden’s natural resources or modern technological advancements. This activity strengthens students’ understanding of economic sectors and reinforces the relationship between geography, natural resources, and industrial development. It also supports reasoning skills by requiring students to justify the category they choose through accurate classification.
