0.0 stars

A shortage or surplus of the goods we buy can have a significant impact on the prices we pay. Since the goods we buy are often made up of other goods, it’s common for a shortage or surplus anywhere in the supply chain to have a significant impact on the market. In this activity you will demonstrate shortages and surpluses, analyze what happens when they occur, and discuss how they can impact our daily lives.

Although this activity is geared towards fifth-grade and older students and Internet research capabilities are required, some portions may be appropriate for younger students.
