Economics Collection

This collection was designed to provide your students with the experiences that provide for the study of how people organize for the production, distribution, and consumption of goods and services, so that they can: distinguish between needs and wants; identify examples of private and public goods and services; explain and demonstrate the role of money in everyday life; describe the relationship of price to supply and demand; and use economic concepts such as supply, demand, and price to help explain events in the community and nation. These programs turn standards into practice. DVD features include on-screen teacher’s guide and vocabulary plus chapter selections. (7 DVDs or 7 VHS x various lengths)
