Economics caught the attention of first graders this spring. Students explored the difference between wants and needs, goods and services, and also producers and consumers. Additionally, students tackled the costs and benefits of personal decisions to spend, save or donate. Designing their own businesses, they created names, logos and slogans for their new ventures, and in music class, they turned those slogans into jingles.
Student Expeditions:

This interactive exhibit demonstrates the students’ understanding of the difference between goods and services.
Services are something that people do for you and you pay money for it. A good is something that someone makes that you can eat or hold. I’m doing a service where I paint people’s nails.
