Economics Projects
What is Economics?
We learned about the vocabulary associated with economics and what it can mean in different situations.
This is our chart showing our vocabulary brainstorming!
Create Your Own Business
As part of our economics study, students created their own businesses. They had to create a plan that included the goods and/or services they'd offer, the resources they'd need and more. The kids had a blast creating their businesses in a box.
The Lemonade War
We just finished the book The Lemonade War. It was about a brother and a sister who decide to compete in a lemonade war. It is the first in it's series and also taught us a lot about economics and earning income!
